1 Dear Ophelia Erik Garkain , 2018 single work short story
— Appears in: Overland , Spring no. 232 2018;

'I see body bags every day. That same ugly, non-porous, blue plastic becomes so monotonous, so easy to forget the contents, negating countless lives. The unzipping takes me back to childhood days spent camping. You hear it? That early morning surfacing from the tent, tearing the mosquito netting open to eagerly set out for a new day of adventure and exploration. Easy, carefree days.' (Introduction)
