Ronaldo’s mission to build a rat car started after he injured his leg at work. He had been scurrying through the New South Wales sewer network, delivering bedding supplies like feathers and hay to his customers, when he came across a cluster of cockroaches. There had to have been at least a dozen of them, …
‘How long do I have to do this,’ Harold frowned from beneath his too-big helmet. ‘It’s been hours!’ ‘It’s been minutes,’ his instructor rolled her eyes. Shara wasn’t accustomed to training children, but when the King had specifically demanded it… ‘Blade up!’ she barked and Harold slowly lifted his dulled sword from the dirt. Too …
I’m feeling dissatisfied with my job. Quite dissatisfied actually. As a company, we’re currently in a period of many people resigning and it’s making me worried about the future of the company. I’ve voiced my concerns to my higher-ups and it seems to go nowhere. It’s really worrying and it shows me that my work …

Those storms were crazy last night, weren’t they? I was asleep when it started, but I was woken by the wind. It sounded like a giant troll was battering my house –the windows were creaking, the bricks were shaking, and the tree branches were dragging themselves across my home’s exterior. It was pretty scary stuff. …
I took my niece to the zoo the other week, and it didn’t go as well as I’d hoped. When we arrived, she immediately said she felt sick. I blamed it on the sugary cereal, offered her a few sips of water from her drink bottle, and we kept walking when she was feeling alright …
I’m opening a dance studio in Melbourne’s North next month. I am so excited. After being retrenched from my job as an accountant, I thought I’d never get a job again. My husband, bless his soul, said he would be more than happy for me to become a stay at home mum and look after …
It’s been six days since my friend’s dad had a massive heart attack and he’s still in a coma. Today is a big day because they’ll find out the results of his MRI to see if there is any brain activity. If there is, he should be able to wake up and live a relatively …
