Don’t look up

You’ve binge watched The Witcher in two days and now you’re wondering what to do with your life. Well, not to worry there’s a wildly depressing, yet humorous movie, to take your mind off things – while simultaneously making you think about what’s wrong with society. It's called 'Don't look up'.

My parents should move

There’s an intersection near my parents’ house in South Africa. We worked out that there was an accident there about every three months—which is quite scary. At one stage, the accidents were getting more and more bizarre. All the accidents made me think that my parents should move.

A monster under my bed

I think everyone who has ever seen a scary movie is probably afraid of letting their feet hang over their bed when they sleep because it feels like some creature from a nether world will grab it and drag you to the pits of hell. Well, I used to have a monster under my bed.

Cheetahs

Here in Australia, there is a lot of wildlife. We’ve seen kangaroos just down the road from our home. South Africa is also rich in wildlife, so it’s nice to have that commonality between the two countries. South Africa is well known for cheetahs, which made me think of a story.
