The Avocado Tree

21.11.15
This piece of writing was originally written in 2014 for a university assignment. *          *          *For a time, perhaps around twelve or thirteen years ago according to my fading memory, growing avocados was in fashion among my relatives in Australia. We didn’t buy them from the nurseries though, we grew them from scratch, from the...

The Flower that Swallowed the Sun - Prologue

14.11.15
Prologue Two hundred years. For those long years, the northern continent kneeled below the one supreme being and vowed subservience like a slave who had never tasted free will. He did not govern that vast land or put himself up as its master. But he was a tempest sweeping the world and a calamity unable to be defied. Those who dared cross him...

The location was very convenient as it's at 130 Flinders Street which is quite...

Freud on Katniss and the Hunger Games (Essay, with spoilers!)

31.8.15
This is an essay I wrote for university. Again, I haven't made any changes after submitting it. There was a comment by the tutor that I particularly liked and kind of added to my ideas really well but unfortunately I can't access it now (it was online)... This essay includes spoilers for the Hunger Games trilogy so if you haven't read it yet, stop...

Theory of Attraction, According to Freud (Fiction)

27.8.15
This is a piece of writing I did for a uni theory subject. It's a combined creative/research piece about psychoanalytic criticism. I haven't made any changes to spelling mistakes, inconsistencies etc since submitting the piece (and there were many such mistakes/inconsistencies according to the tutor's comments), so please keep that in mind as you read. Psychoanalysis [Image by David, Creative Commons] I’m adrift...
