Well, our plan completely backfired. Those blasted Hardware Bandits outsmarted us again, and now our hardware business is doing even worse than ever. I’m starting to think that the Hardware Master of our Hardware Store Bonanza RPG doesn’t want us to succeed. He keeps putting all these obstacles in the way, and I think that …
As a ghost who died in the 17th century, there are a lot of wonders of the world that I know very little about. Unfortunately, I don’t have the means to learn things, except for whenever somebody new joins the ghosts of Clasp House. Whenever somebody dies here and has unfinished business, they join the …
My friend Wilkins wants to move into a tree. Yes, I know – that was my response too (I’m assuming your eyebrows are raised). I mean, I get the general point. You get to sleep under the stars, unfettered by the trappings of the built environment. I just can’t help but feel he hasn’t fully …
My boyfriend of three years and I are planning on building a house together next year. As we are both young and have only just started our full time careers, we have agreed that we will spend the whole next year saving and then we will put a deposit on a property and build a …
Oh, I love how deviously evil I am. Flying monkey attack! What will I come up with next? That’s right, Dr Dark McBane is behind the monkeys plaguing Melbourne streets at the moment. Although I stole the idea from some random person’s blog, it was only my genius mind that could make it come to …
The Glass Smashing Bandit sat beside me, his arms bound with rope. Thankfully he was starting to wake up. Ahead of us, the strange fanatics gathered around in a circle. There were six of them all up. They made space in the centre, and a broad figure in a dark cloak walked forward. “What do …
Lou-Ellen’s soup night was the talk of the town again. It’s getting to the point where I can’t very well keep up the facade that I’m not curious, but it’s essential that I don’t let on. I mean, I don’t want anyone thinking I’m desperate for an invite because I’m really not. Still, from what …
It was the end of a long day at the office when I got the call. A shrill voice met my ear as I put the phone up against it. I recognised the caller immediately. Mrs Avery. She was convinced that her husband had been murdered two weeks ago, in what was supposedly a car …
I just got back from a trip to Bulgaria, where I stayed in the eeriest place I’ve been in. It was an old castle converted into an avant garde ‘experience hotel’, complete with complimentary vials of oddly luminescent liquid delivered to the room each evening – I assumed it was some kind of local hooch, …
Everyone thinks they know what interior design is about… it’s just avant-garde lamps, cushions and throw rugs, right? Wrong. That’s interior decoration, and even within that realm it’s a bit of a reductive imagining of what’s involved. No, interior design is concerned with everything from the basic bones of a room – its built structure …
