I wrote this story in a mood during summer. The heat, the crowds, the emotional stuff that happens when we feel caged & then autumn comes along & changes everything.
So happy to be published with Underbelly Press. Here it is.

For the first time since childhood I somehow slept from 9:30pm last night until 6am this morning without waking. I don’t know how it happened and I know it won’t happen again. I’m putting it down as a personal Christmas miracle.

Me and my teen upstairs opening his presents, baby girl downstairs dancing, clapping and running around, old man shouting up, when are we doing mine…
Christmas Eve, love it.

The day we went to the place that had no one, heated tomato soup in the van and sat in silence by the water. January can feel long but it also has these moments. Peaceful, calm memories.

New routine is get out of bed and immediately do thirty pushups followed by core exercises. Non-negotiable, every day irrespective of insomnia state. Takes the heart from the mind. Works wonders.

Out before it all begins and the trails are flooded with everyone doing the same thing at the same time. These final few days are a sanctuary.

A striking take on the autumnal theme, the sense of dread slowly grows and permeates the atmosphere. Blurring the line between realism and something more sinister, it’s a fitting read for a bleak Sunday.
Find it now in Issue 5.

You’ll have to take my word for it (again) but two moments ago a gigantic stunner of a fox walked right into this frame.
