This one was a really good challenge, and something I’ve never tried before. We had to write in an entirely made up language and yet produce a compelling drama.

“Bedang” is the short story of a woman who walks into a newsagent on Halloween and whilst the proprietor is distracted by trick or treaters egging the front of his shop she proceeds to have a full mental breakdown in the shop.

Heavy going this one but felt satisfying. My love to anyone who has ever had a mental health crisis or been involved.
