> OK, here is my first ever attempt at a short story, set in the bush in far
northern Australia. Please don't crucify me too badly, I have no training or
anything, but helpful criticism is good. It's called Poori Poori, mainly
because I couldn't think of a better name. The Poori Poori is a "real"
thing, feared by a lot of the northern Aboriginals. They freak out when the
light catches a dog's eyes and make them look glowing red, and loud noise is
said to keep it away, hence very loud singing in the street at three in the
bloody morning if a northern Aboriginal has to go somewhere at night :?)
I don't think there's too much area specific language there, and I kept the
country vague because of the upcoming Target: Awakened lands. I'll shut up
now.

What a great story! Absolutely mah-velous! Perhaps a follow-up there?
