‘I think I officially hate the outdoors,’ Marty sighed, slapping at a mosquito that landed on his neck. ‘Nobody said you had to like them,’ Allie shrugged, stepping around their campfire and handing him a mug. ‘Literally not true,’ he frowned as he accepted the drink. ‘Your exact words were “if we’re going …
The blonde boy only laughed. “You? Come to stop me? I could take you with my eyes closed.” Lorcan bristled, tightening his grip on the bottom of the rope. He’d never climbed anything before, and he’d certainly never fought another person in anything but a practice battle. And he had always lost. But this was …
My friend is so entitled and annoying. We went camping over the summer holidays which was so fun and genuinely awesome and yet the whole time she was complaining about something. At first, it was the early wake-up, then the long drive, then the long walk to the toilets from the campsite and so on …
Just my luck. I’ve been waiting for this new bathroom for eleven months and just as it’s finally finished, I go on holidays, end up stuck somewhere other than my home and then move out of home. Since we’ve gotten the new bathroom, I’ve only been able to use it twice. And that sucks because …
‘How are we so lost? We’ve been driving for, what? Ten minutes?’ ‘Well if somebody hadn’t insisted we bring a map from 1995…’ ‘It’s a suburb, John. They don’t change that much.’ ‘In ten years?!’ I pulled over to the side of the road, flicking on the overhead light and taking the …

Rylee’s father didn’t like his daughters playing inside. Their home had no video games or television set – no quick and easy ways to spend time beyond using one’s imagination. As a result, Rylee and her older sister spent a lot of time outside. On this particular day, they’d decided to make a game out …
We pulled the car over once we got to Bankstown and stretched our legs. ‘In hindsight,’ I groaned, twisting my back, ‘we should have come to Bansktown after Phrankston, not Adele-aid.’ ‘It was quite the detour,’ Julie admitted, reaching down to touch her toes. ‘Almost like it wouldn’t have happened if we’d …
It was like the Little Men were the protagonists of a video game, and the members of Charlie’s ambush force were just the NPCs designed to be fodder. The scene was a slaughter; one Charlie couldn’t bear to think about as her squad fell to the vicious wrath of the Little Men. They fought with …
I groggily blinked my eyes open. I’d been having such a lovely dream – alone on a beach, a beautiful waitress bringing me drinks. Then, all of a sudden, my serene beach had been interrupted by a blizzard that had swept through and ruined my cocktail. ‘Wha-what’s… my daiquiri…’ I mumbled. I heard …
