When I came home from work one afternoon, I discovered my aunt had turned into a carnivorous plant. Finish the story here.

This piece first appeared at Quart Short Literary Reading Nights in Adelaide, and was also performed at Salon REaD, an emerging literary salon in Brisbane (photos of the latter below).

Bought paintbrush at Eckerselys. Very happy with paintbrush.

Looked up things to paint for inspiration. Too many ideas. Freaked out.

Used paintbrush to paint Lynda Barry ‘Syllabus’ inspired cartoon.

Very happy with cartoon.
