My Degree in Late Night Movies (Sandy McEwen)** Movie Buff My viewing schedule is as full as a doctor’s wallet. I hit the university study jackpot with a Bachelor of Film Studies (majoring in reviewing). Basically my studying consists of watching movies, sorry, films, for years on end and writing reviews. This semester’s focus is late night movies. I’m starting

The only weed in the garden** Neighbourhood Watch She moved into the street six weeks ago and ruined everything. Our street was open – everyone was friendly, we all went to each other’s houses, we all borrowed things from each other, we all know everything about each other and we don’t mind. We’re like a family. She made it clear

Lie utterly motionless for as long as you can, then write a story in which a character has to be utterly motionless for some reason.** Daily Routine My birthday is really just like every other day. I go through the same routine, nothing special. My bed is made, sometimes new sheets are put on after I’ve been moved, the blinds

‘The last time I saw him/her…’ It’s an infallible opening line!** Trash to Treasure The last time I saw her was graduation day (and good riddance)! Tracey Holden was the most popular girl and biggest bully in school, or at least bully to a “freak” like me. The day I graduated high school was the best day of my life

My mum, the bushranger** A Bushranger’s Eulogy Mum would always take off like a rocket during a chase. She loved it when it was on foot, she’d smile and look back as her enemies shot at her and missed, whilst she’d open fire and hit at least one. She took joy from robbing fellow robbers and people that were almost

I was a victim of rock n’ roll** Deal or No Deal I’ve been sitting by my record player on one of my old, wooden dining table chairs listening to my old albums for hours, trying to self-reflect and decide whether to take the deal or not. Listening to my old albums reminded me of who I used to be,

“I came from nowhere and made something out of my life, and you came from somewhere and are trying to make nothing out of yours.” (Line from a movie) Write a story about two people of whom this could be said** Cold Feet Why did he have to propose? I had an inkling that he was up to something, I

‘If you ignore your children they’ll make themselves known somehow.’ Write a story about a child in this situation.** Acting Out I made sure that it only happened in public. Nothing was the same once mum and dad brought the tiny one home. They only wanted to spend time with it and not me, and things weren’t much better when
