Posted on March 6, 2016 by Helen

The Others – Thirty One

Posted on December 11, 2015 by Helen

I snorted at Gabriel, incredulous. In the first moment his proposition seemed too ridiculous to take seriously. I guess most insanely evil things do seem that way at first. “What are you suggesting, some sort of Assassins R Us?” Gabriel … Continue reading →

The Others – Thirty

Posted on December 4, 2015 by Helen

“Isn’t it beautiful?” Gabriel repeats, this time in real-time. I’m speechless. He seems to understand. We all continue to watch the last few shots of the film. “So, there’s our present to you Peter. We’ve got your revenge on the … Continue reading →

The Others – Twenty Nine

Posted on November 27, 2015 by Helen

“We’ve worked out how not to see each other when we don’t want to,” Gabriel is saying down the lens, ‘Just for the dramatic effect of the film, you see. And you’re right, Roger was a cheap bastard. He has … Continue reading →

The Others – Twenty Eight

Posted on November 20, 2015 by Helen

The Others – Twenty Seven

Posted on November 13, 2015 by Helen

  Part of what they propose? “Go on,” I said, because I had nothing else to say at the time. Natalie had rested her head on my shoulder. It was so close to something completely impossible that I wanted anyway … Continue reading →

The Others – Twenty-Three

Posted on October 15, 2015 by Helen

I suppose this must have been an amazing moment for them. For all I knew neither of them had met another of their kind, even unrecognized, given how difficult it seemed. Beyond this, they might be the only ones of … Continue reading →

The Others – Twenty-One

Posted on October 1, 2015 by Helen

Natalie was both excited and a bit frightened. So was I. We sat, calming each other and buoying each other up in the interminable taxi trip to Gabriel’s home. He lived in Surry Hills, in the penthouse apartment of a … Continue reading →

The Others – Twenty

Posted on September 24, 2015 by Helen

I didn’t have to wait long. Friday night I was settling to watch a DVD I’d rented, with a beer by my side and a packet of chips, when the phone rang. I checked the caller ID before I answered … Continue reading →

The Others – Nineteen

Posted on September 17, 2015 by Helen

The issue was how to make contact with the enigmatic Gabriel. I intuited that this could be even more difficult than it had been to talk with Natalie at the club, for similar reasons, but magnified because I half suspected … Continue reading →
