I’m looking for the phone number of a person who designs wallpapers. I have really quirky taste and I don’t want wallpaper that is plain or boring. Any wallpaper that is all the one colour or even worse, just a shade of white, black or grey makes me want to vomit. I would hate to …
Melissa slowly twirled the bathwater with her finger, watching the bubbles swirl around. She knew that the water was getting cold and she had to get out soon, but she wasn’t ready. She could still feel the day’s stress clinging to her skin like a needy child. ‘Muuuuum!’ came a cry from downstairs. Speak of …
‘What do you mean “about to blow”,’ the man stammered at me as I scribbled something onto my clipboard. I wasn’t actively doing anything, but I’d learned a long time ago that clients tended to listen to me when they thought I was only giving them half my attention. ‘It’s simple physics,’ I said, absentmindedly …
Remy had been saving money for more than a month. After his beloved bathroom sprang a leak and was completely destroyed, he’d been working overtime to gather enough money to fix it. After all, before it broke, he had once been the only rat in the sewers of Melbourne with working, fully-automated plumbing in their …

I used to not bother with skincare, makeup or tattoos because my skin was good and I didn’t see the …
Freedom. So much freedom. As Maphira walked the streets of Melbourne a free woman, she reflected on how even the oppressive feeling in the air couldn’t bring her down today. How good it felt to finally be out of that workshop and in the city again, even if it was being controlled by machines. She …
You are an employee of Mechanist Rising. Congratulations on joining this brilliant company that has recently taken giant strides toward its goals of complete and total world domination.

“This is it,” Rylee said. “The battery control room. The one with the button that will send this whole facility up in flames. We’ll use the solar power to destroy the solar power. Over to you, sis.” Maphira stood before the door to what was, supposedly, the most important room in the whole facility. As …
Maphira split from the rest of her task force, trusting Vai to lead them onto the solar power facility. She stalked the dark tunnels of Melbourne’s sewer system, searching for the disturbance she’d heard. Her boots squelched along the shallow water, making her almost wish she could have been topside, patrolling the streets of Melbourne …
