She asks her soul: Will the loved ones still remember me…

He rents a cramped studio apartment in Fitzroy North but spends most of his time in a workshop in St Kilda. This is where he brings the girls. The workshop is cold, damp, and grey. It once housed an automotive repairs business. On one side a half-rusted car sits, jacked up on a hoist. Its wheels are missing. All the windows have been…

walks with a rapid gait, uneasily glancing about the forest. The trees suddenly break revealing a large clearing, the dewy grass glistening in the moonlight. In the center of the clearing a massive tree looms above, an ancient sentinel watching over the forest. She slows as she approaches the tree, scanning the area around her.
