WinterWinter here is nothing like I have experienced.Winter
Back home, winter means a sweatshirt. Winter means it gets darker in the mornings. Winter means I drag out that old white radiator from the cupboard and turn it on for a few hours in the evenings; and maybe, I accidentally leave it on all night and in the morning I am woken by my mother yelling about power bills, and I have slept terribly because the air in my room is stifling hot.
That's all that winter means, where I come from. But in this new city, near the bottom of the world, winter expands to fill my life. It is not an inconvenience; it is a malevolent presence t

Anzac DayIt is midnight, and this means it is now the 25th of April. Anzac Day.Anzac Day
Although normally Anzac Day would be a solemn commemoration of Australian and New Zealand lives lost in wartime, tonight Jess is at a party. Sam has found fireworks, and she is sure this will end badly. "I'll watch from the door," she says.
"We can use my lighter," Andrew says. "But it's my favourite, so don't break it, eh Sam?"

Night Out"I want to go home," she says.Night Out
"The night's just started," says a boy, patting her on her back, on her bra strap. "You can't go home now. Would you like a drink?"
No. "Yes." Because she knows the rules, she's learned them all your life. If you can't beat them, join them! Something to be said in a state of strident good cheer, with a grin splattered on your face and your arms around friends.
She can't beat this boy; she doesn't even know his name. All she knows is what she can see: his obsidian black hair, his close together green eyes. He is drunk. She watches him fight his way through the crowds to the

HarmonicWe are both awake, although you don't know this. You are putting your burned CDs in alphabetical order again, wearing a smile like a witch'sHarmonic
hat. A small white refrigerator starts humming. A computer has been humming. They are in tune; they make a major sixth. This makes
