WELCOME


This is a small, thoughtful corner shaped by reading, writing, and paying attention. Here you’ll find poems, short stories, essays, and gathered lines. Some pieces are my own, others are responses to books, films, and writers whose words continue the conversation. Everything here is written and kept with care, and offered slowly, for readers who like to linger.

I’m glad you’re here.

Gracie Shhhhhhh!!

There was a rumour that had been spreading around the school playground about the existence of a mythical creatureโ€ฆ

Gracie is a twelve-year-old girl who goes to this school near her home. She is timid and only loves to sit in the corner and read her books. Unlike her other two best friends, Makena and Donald, she has no interest in finding out the truth about the creature that resides at the back of the Principal’s office. Yet Gracie has no other choice but to go along with the plan to help at the school canteen and gain access to the Principal’s office.
