The first parts are short stories, written for this program and workshopped by my peers, and then heavily revised by me. The second section is an excerpt of a novel-in-progress, created in a similar process. All of the works in this thesis touch on the small absurdities of the human experience, including but not limited to: self-doubt, miscommunication, chance, and the lonesome subjectivity of reality. / 2999-01-01T00:00:00Z

I am finally getting used to being home. Two weeks into 2013, I have the kind of routine reserved for unemployed recent graduates. I wake up and try to convince myself to run. On the days where the tedium of being in Centurion wins out, I lace up, push the gate open and put my earphones in. I take a breath whilst Florence Welch's vibrato nudges me to get going. My feet slowly shuffle up the cul-de sac that winds around the corner and ends at the security gate. The best time to jog midweek in the suburbs is after the school run.
