    Twin Souls in the Universe
    Oct 1 2024

    If you thought about it, the process for selecting the first matter transference test pilot was archaic, although Mae considered it a lucky omen when she drew the Blue 15 raffle ticket. Blue, not pink, was her favourite colour as a girl, and at 15, Mae had decided she wanted to become an astronaut.

    Twin Souls in the Universe is a short story from the Tall And True writers' website, written and narrated by Robert Fairhead.

  • My Speech

    My Speech
    Sep 17 2024

    I'm getting too old for this. My speechwriter's pulse quickens as the PM mounts the flag-decked stage, flanked by senior ministers and mining industry executives, to announce her government's green coal plan. Panned by environmentalists and scientists, polling suggests it could be a vote winner … if the PM nails my speech.

    My Speech is a short story from the Tall And True writers' website, written and narrated by Robert Fairhead.
