Acknowledgement: The author acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which this story was written and in which it is set, and pays respect to elders past and present.
Content Warning: Self Harm and Suicide - Something that is very lightly touched on in the story but it is something that I take very seriously and very personally. If you struggle with mental health issues know that you are not alone and there are many great resources out there if you need them.
Content Warning: Death, infrequent gore, violence, sexual references. I definitely consider it an age 16+ read. I try to keep a clinical tone for the grizzly bits and there's no sex scenes but there's a few, brief but frank discussions. Open to suggestions on the exact maturity level.
Spelling: Before you pick on my spelling please make sure it is not a matter of localisation. I'm Australian and spell 'colour' with a 'u' and a few other strange things. and there's some Australian colloquialisms in the dialogue that I promise are real words. They should make sense in context. Otherwise, I welcome my spelling, grammar and punctuation mistakes being pointed out as I often miss things even after several readings and edits.
Criticism: I welcome feedback, what you like and dislike but my creative male ego is fragile. Please be considerate and constructive in criticisms. I want to continue working at my craft and improving as a writer.
Enjoy: I hope you have as much fun reading this little adventure as I have had writing it.
