Luke Hemmings was a wild chap. He wasn't like the other kids, he favoured guitars over the popular Australian pipe, the didgerydoo, he preferred a light swim over to mako island or the great barrier reef than the usual teen hobbies of playing with Koalas in the outback. He didn't fear bush fires, bush fires feared him. He thought of the black widow as a close family friend. And he had a loyal and trustworthy pack of dingos to do his dirty work (aka his laundry). That was until he met fellow Australian, Sheila (no surname provided)

I wrote these poems as an Aussie farmer during the drought in 2019. 2019 was the last year of the drought, we had already suffered however for 4 years without rain. There were extreme bushfires swallowing the country and even worst dust storms that occurred multiple times a day, it felt there was no escape from the madness that had become our daily lives. These poems were a voice for that frustration and writing it down was my own personal plea of desperation. Right after the draught in 2019 however we got flooding in early 2020, welcomed flooding by most except for those who lost most of there homes and belongs. And well soon after that we had the pandemic hit Australia pretty hard where we went in lock down mid April. Everyday the news spreading so much fear. We were scared to leave our homes. Again I wrote more poetry to cope with the fact that we had just come from one hell the draught to now this new hell the pandemic! It honestly felt like tHe fried would never end. These poems are a representation of that time. I hope you all enjoy.

The handicap tweens --Jane, Peter and Paul go back to school after the Treeton tragedy that 'cursed' them with undesired super abilities. The Cursed-trio are split in their decision, as Peter wanted to exploit their new-found superpowers, for his 'own' personal fame and glory - while Jane and Paul would rather be anonymous and conceal their secret identities. Meanwhile, Piper --Jane's runaway dog got into a pickle with the law when the mutt left Perth City into the Outbacks. An eminent threat is coming in form of a supernatural devastating bushfire, created by the Dark forces of the Asmodeus, lurking near - would the Cursed-trio unite to work as one -- to put out the fire before it consumes their city?
