Michael Davis, a nervous student teacher, probes a dusty staffroom door for Mrs Buge. A portly man in chalk-stained trousers jokes about the name, misidentifies, and finally guides Davis toward the English classroom. The encounter hints at a muddled, informal school scene.
Davis confronts a hostile staff-room scene where a fat manipulative teacher expounds a theory of time and disorientation. A frightened student Maryanne lingers at the door as Davis sinks into confusion, memory loss, and a looming test of control.
Final judging at Commonwealth Bank Pitt Street Sydney on December 9 chose contemporary tales. The winning entry Orientation by Robert M Hood features a dry ironic twist. Runner up The Fall of Tearus by Bruce Russell satirises trendy attitudes with rare humor. Many entries exceeded the 2,000 word limit and were disqualified. Judges noted talent and preparation but suspect sentimentality overshadowed living situations.
A fragmentary, lyric meditation on longing for a muse named Jennifer and a goddesslike ideal from Greece. The speaker recalls sending letters and stamps, riding a psychedelic mirror bus, and seeks touch with a poet’s corner pub life. Two authors TIMOSHENKO ASLANIDES and PATRICIA HAMLYN frame a world tilting with liberated women and bemused men.
Daedalus commands Icarus in a quirky Labrynth Book Shop dialogue where Icarus handles a provocative display and nightlife plans. Morning reveals trouble as Icarus returns in a Bell helmet, and Daedalus urges him to remove the visor for conversation.
Daedalus mentors Icarus through group therapy and sensual experimentation in a counterculture urban setting. Corona sparks relationship tension as misread signals lead to awkward confrontations while Daedalus urges balance and honest communication amid a chaotic weekend. The narrative follows self discovery, sexual awakening, and the lure of group dynamics against a backdrop of labs, bookstores, and a labrith hangout.
