Synopsis: Black Hole in Halls Gap
A historical romance with a science fiction element which is barely related. Also, a cult and a man with a hawaiian shirt. I'm hoping a bushranger will make an appearance.
Excerpt: Black Hole in Halls Gap
Afterword: Part One
A big portion of my teenage years was haunted by an answering machine message left by my brother. My parents saved it and listened to it over and over again. I remember the words, and the inflections of the words, but they were not very revealing about his state of mind. By the time there was a power surge one night which wiped off this carefully saved message, in a way it wasn’t needed anymore because we knew what was said and how it was said and also how long it took.
It was only as long as it took to put your head in your hands and shake it six times in a bewildered way. My parents missed doing that around the answering machine after the power surge, but I would catch them doing it everywhere now and then after that; in the laundry, or one time when we went to Movieworld and I looked down on them from a ride.
The message said, “Mum and Dad, I’m sorry. I’m going to make a new life for myself in the 1870s.”
