Welcome back to the wild, wild ride of The Amazing Car Race! When we last left off, our grease monkey turned racer, Brian, had just set off from our Raceview pitstop, engine roaring and spirit soaring. The race is on, and every racer is for themselves. Brian, with the clunky engine of his old hatchback …
There is almost no challenge I cannot overcome. In my many years on this planet, I have single-handedly conquered armies, crushed rebellions and danced to the song of death with the gods themselves. Whenever there has been an obstacle in my way, I have always found a way around it, without exception. That is, until …
It’s crazy how one life event can change you completely. Without going into too much detail, two years ago I was diagnosed with an illness that would leave me with many physical impairments. I’ve always been a very physically active person. I used to play tennis, go for …
“If we are going to bring down the elites,” said the luxury home builder, “we need to think big and act bigger. Tell me, Mavis, did you ever watch those sci-fi movies with the swords made of light, back on the surface?” Mavis scoffed. “They were clearly fantasy in space, but yes.” Gideon waved a …
My brother has sent me on a wild goose chase to find building materials for him. He’s currently stuck in his house which is definitely unfortunate, but surely he can go seven days without having to build anything.

‘Hold on, you’ve gotta just jiggle it a litt–ah, there we go!’ The door burst open, light from the hallway spilling into the gloomy warehouse. The real estate agent held the door open for the young couple to walk in ahead of him, partly because he was a gentleman and partly because he was …
‘Where do you want it?’ the driver asked, scratching the side of his stomach with his pen. I frowned as he put it back on his clipboard, then looked up at the huge delivery of timber strapped to the back of his truck. ‘Who did you say ordered this again?’ I asked. ‘Uh…’ he flicked …
So I went to the hardware store and the people were really helpful! I’m sure they could tell I was a novice, but they definitely didn’t treat me like it. I really appreciated it. They pointed me in the direction of the tools and materials that I would need for my design, and explained what …
I’m one of those people who is a bit of an elitist when it comes to the tattoo world. I hate to say it, but I really am. I’m covered head to toe in tattoos, I attend all the tattoo expos, and I know who is important in the tattoo world and who is the …
