50 Shades of Mt Druitt
Chapter 1…
Even though he only had one tattoo I yearned him to fill the lonely hours between Dr Phil and days of our lives. as he approached me with his pasty white arms hanging out of a Nike vest,his smile told me it was dole day, and I knew my velour track suit would be hanging off the lampshade tonight. As I stood in line at centrelink, thinking up reasons why I can't work, a sweet smell drifted past my pig like nostrils. It was a mixture of weed, sweat and lynx Africa! I turned and there he was Dwayne, with his pants halfway down his arse,our eyes met and he was soon lifting me onto the wheelie bins behind the Rec Centre. He had already tied his staffy to a post in an alleyway so we would not be disturbed. There was a tramp watching but it did not bother us, just added to the mystery. I knew then that this was love and my life would never be the same again. I made a promise to him there and then that I would buy him a plasma with the baby bonus.....

50 Shades of Mount Druitt ,....
Chapter Two...
The next time I saw him it was a dark and stormy night. I had walked in the rain along Luxford Road to the station, my hair dripping wet and my ugg boots a little damp. He climbed out of his mates’ Tarago van wearing his best gear, white Canterb...ury pants and a Henley hoodie. We locked eyes as the van drove off and I was already thinking about how he would remove my Supre top. He always had the sweetest things to say like how pretty I looked with my smudged blue eyeshadow, what an awesome chic I was and that I was far better than his last two roots. We slid quietly underneath the platform stairwell, carelessly kicking an empty goon sac out of our way. Only a few Indian men on their way to work passed us by unnoticed. The sound of syringes jangling together in his pocket was like sweet music as the smell of Tabu and crystal meth filled the air. After we were done I made several promises, and even though the children might not all belong to him, we would fill our dream

    I’d tumbled off the freight in the jungle by Deptford and found a fire and seven fellows around it, and they had stew – somebody’d got a rabbit and it was in a pail over the fire with some carrots. Ever eat that? It’s awful, but I wanted some, and after a lot of nastiness they said I could have some after they’d had what they wanted of me. My manhood just couldn’t stand it, and I left them. They laughed at me and said I’d be back when I got good and hungry. Then I met this woman, wandering by herself. I knew she was a town woman. Women tramps are very rare; too much sense, I guess. She was clean and looked like an angel to me, but I threatened her and asked her for money. She hadn’t any; then I grabbed her. She wasn’t much afraid and asked what I wanted. I told her in tramp’s language, and I could see she didn’t understand, but when I started to push her down and grab at her clothes she said, ‘Why are you so rough?’ and then I started to cry. She held my head to her breast and talked nicely to me, and I cried worse, but the strange thing is I still wanted her. As if only that would put me right, you see? That’s what I said to her. And do you know what she said? She said ‘You may if you promise not to be rough.’ So I did, and that was when you people came hunting her. When I look back now, it’s a wonder that it wasn’t all over with me that moment. But it wasn’t. No, it was glory come into my life. It was as if I had gone right into Hell…

    I ran upstairs and I grasped the cold gold of the pocket watch, and lifted the cover. Hidden in the top, an image was revealed as light illuminated the paper. My son, head was revealed first. His short cropped hair, dark brown, yet it seemed to glow. Next was my wife. Her angelic face still looked incredible even on the weathered paper. Her long hair kept in that ponytail she wore so often. Staring at the image, a single tear, as lonely as I am now, rolled down my cheek and past my lip. It then fell through the air and landed on the paper, leaving a drop sized mark on the image.…

    Colin wanted to take some pictures of the llamas, so we stayed there for a while. Business was not too busy that day since it was a school day. There were two families walking about the zoo, and I was thrilled to find that one of them was interracial. The mother was a white woman and the father looked Middle Eastern. One of their three kids who was playing near where we stood had blue eyes and curly black hair. I told Colin he was the cutest kid I’d seen that day, and that was by no mean an understatement. This family was an example of exogamous marriage – a marriage in which the partners belongs to different social groups, or, in this case, ethnic groups. Exogamous partnership was not an uncommon phenomenon nowadays, especially not in the LA area, but seeing this couple here made me feel like I’ve hit the jackpot. When Colin was satisfied with his pictures, he said that he’d take me somewhere he knew I would love. So we heading out of the train station. As we walked past Hidden House Coffee, I saw a couple who were speaking Chinese, and I had a temptation to run over and hug them but of course I restrained myself. We then walked into an antique shop called The Old Barn and I immediately fell in love. The right word to describe this place would be an “antique outlet” because it was huge. The place was owned by exceptionally nice people with very strong Southern accent. After we were done shopping and I…

    I looked around my messy house. My stomach made weird noises I don’t think it should have been making. I could tell it was because of the freshness of the food I ate. Something was lingering in my mind I couldn’t stop thinking about. I had this strange urge to go and help Gandhi. It wasn’t a want, it was a need. There was this fire building up inside of my stomach ever since I was dropped at the orphanage, to when Uncle Romonaivsten nurtured me and set me off to my own life, all the way to now. Uncle Romonaivsten was my “adopted father” who took care of me and gave me a lot of money so I could live a life of my own. He was a very rich British businessman and had the softest heart of anybody I met. He felt sorry for me at the orphanage, and adopted me. The majority of my happiest memories are with him. I blamed my parents’ death on the British for taxing them to poverty. They treated us like we were a lower class. This was a golden opportunity for me to avenge my parent’s death. I felt crazy, but I didn’t care, I couldn’t hold it in any longer. All those years just living in my house that I didn’t even buy for myself, and not standing up to the one thing I thought was wrong. I was probably driven crazy like my dad; but I am not going to cowardly suicide like him, I am going to stand up to this regime. I went into my bedroom and started packing up a duffel bag. I put some clothes, a towel, toothpaste, and some other things I always take with me when I go places. I took a rickshaw to the airport. Emotions of hatred and sorrow were tearing me apart. On the way to the airport, I saw poverty in India at its worst. Kids washing cars so they could feed their family. Shoe shiners plagued with malnutrition working for plump, well-fed, British. The dirt roads poorly maintained. At last, when I couldn’t watch any longer, we reached the airport. I booked a ticket for tomorrow. All of my actions were quick, sudden, and hasty, but I didn’t…

As Jim walked down to the gate, his childhood memories came flooding back and he hung his head in disbelief at the state of the farm. “Hey son! Come in.” Jim continued to the brick farmhouse, greeted by his father, 6ft with a beard of a trucker, an old cane beside him to help keep him up.

    The morning went so fast, I was slightly nervous about seeing Josie again since it had been three months since our last encounter. I put on a t-shirt and shorts on then stood in front of the mirror as I splashed my face with water. I looked at the clock and saw it was 11:50 so I grabbed my helmet and jacket as I pushed my motorcycle out the garage. It wasn’t until I got to the street before Subway that I realised my phone had fallen out of my pocket and I had left my wallet at home. I knew then I was going to be late and Josie was going to…

    Days went by and the weather was an accurate reflection of our low spiritedness. Lightening ripped through the sky, and tears fell so fast from the faces of my loved ones; it was hard to distinguish them from the heavy rain. Relatives of mine would visit and show remorse towards my mother. She looked like death and she didn’t care. It was a state of depression she couldn’t see herself through. To those around me my feelings seemed frivolous and so I would sit by the window and observe the birds that flew way above. Slowly I shut my eyes and I could see him. He had come back into my life, but only for a second, until I opened my eyes and saw it was all just a lie. I go to sleep and I know he will be there, but I don’t want to wake up because he will disappear again. All I wanted was for someone to tell me that he was ok and I had nothing to worry about. Nobody ever did. I would saunter for 3 miles…

    The truck ride home was quiet, besides the occasional “Who sings this?” when a ghost of a classic country song would works its way on the radio. The red headed stranger accompanied by long white lines lit up by the glow of headlights was a somber reminder of Shawn. The familiar roads leading up to my childhood home brought back memories of me and Shawn flying down them in a pickup truck blasting Eric Church, talking about how hot Jenny looked in that tight little black dress throwing the empty Bush Light cans out the window as we went. The bark of Penny, my dads golden retriever, evaporated my memory cloud. As we pulled into my old home, I grabbed my luggage and called my wife to let her know I had made it and I was safe. The flight had made me tired and somehow the comfort of being back in the first place I called home helped me drift off into…

    I was awaked by the aromatic smells of India, the smells of coconut and vanilla filled my nose, the sweet warm air made me feel so at home. I slowly opened my eyes and sunlight poured into my room, making its way down my body, giving me warmth I roll over and I am greeted with the captivatingly beautiful sight of our garden, colours of green, red, blue, orange and purple fill my eyes, everything here is so amazing, it is all making the fact that we have to leave so much harder. I hear papa steps slowly becoming louder as he reaches my door, i quickly scurry under the covers, i just want to stay here forever, with him, this is my home, where i belong. Why must papa go to battle? Why couldn't i just stay here, id be just as safe? Why must i go to school in America? All these thoughts flooded my tiny head, making it hurt, i knew as we left i might never see my home again. As we arrive in New York, i peered out the car window, everything was quite exciting. The sights are so different, the city is filled with tall grey buildings, fraught with any wildlife, the air reeks of smoke and there are people rushing about everywhere. I question papa why it is so different, he explains to me that not nowhere is the same, everywhere has to be different so everyone can feel like they belong. We pull up to my new home, my mothers old boarding school, where she attended when she was my age. It was a tall dark green building that towered over us, tall black steeples sat on the top of the building, anxiety rushed through my body and i grabbed papas hand, he squeezed it back in reassurance, i knew by that squeeze he meant everything was going to be fine. As we stepped out of the car, my eyes scanned the front garden, they stopped when i saw a little girl sweeping the leaves. She was so frail, as if a tiny gush of cold wind on this winters day could blow her away, she looked about 9 or 10 and was wearing pale ragged clothes , no girl this young could have…
