Daily Zone 1 & 2 Confession: April 2006
http://daily12confession.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 16, 2006. Melbourne Train Girl stood waiting. Music through her headphones was distracting the tiny flutter of butterfly wings buried inside her abdomen. They had decided to meet at the steps of Flinders Street station, which was such a cliche but nonetheless convenient. An arfully crafted SMS sent by her earlier in the week, and an hour sitting on the roof of her car the night before, had led to this date. The meal turned out to be painfully long. Despite all this, Melbourne Train Girl sti...

Daily Zone 1 & 2 Confession: Empty Houses
http://daily12confession.blogspot.com/2006/08/empty-houses.html
Friday, August 04, 2006. Melbourne Train Girl waited for after dinner with restless impatience; for that was when the Short Boy had said he would call. Once she had eaten she walked one lap of her house and decided she would not let the waiting game get the better of her. She cleaned her room. Then she vaccuumed. And after that she rearranged her shoes in her wardrobe. His voice was just as she remembered it. And really, how could she ever have thought to have forgotten it? 123 I love you.

Daily Zone 1 & 2 Confession: Bananas
http://daily12confession.blogspot.com/2006/07/bananas.html
Monday, July 24, 2006. Tonight Melbourne Train Girl had banana in her fruit salad. Bananas are very expensive and therefore very sparse at her house. One night, after a very bad day some weeks ago she burst into tears at the sight of two tiny bananas sitting in the fruit bowl. Posted by melbourne train girl 10:10 pm. Takes the train. And sometimes the tram and the bus as well. She is the girl in the corner seat wondering if the boy by the window will say hello. 123 I love you.

Monday, September 11, 2006. Goodbye (for now, not forever). It has come time for Melbourne Train Girl to hang up her red shoes, for the moment at least. Melbourne Train Girl runs her own business.

Daily Zone 1 & 2 Confession: July 2006
http://daily12confession.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 26, 2006. Melbourne Train Girl cannot seem to finish anything. That was the first time she had me the Short Boy. The first time she met the Late Boy she was only fifteen. It was summer, and she remembers the white pants that came just below her knee and the cheerful aqua of her lace top. She would never wear those colours now, but they suited her sixteen year old personality perfectly.". Posted by melbourne train girl 3:23 pm. Be watching the final episode of The OC? No, I can't say I was...

Daily Zone 1 & 2 Confession: Emails
http://daily12confession.blogspot.com/2006/07/emails.html
Saturday, July 22, 2006. Just past 8am. Melbourne's sky was a fresh clear blue, Melbourne Train Girl's hair freshly red. She dyes it herself with henna, spreading the thick green mud onto her hair and then sitting for five hours, her head wrapped in cling wrap, a shower cap and a thick towel. Her new fringe covers the orange stain in her hairline. On Tuesday the friend who introduced Melbourne Train Girl to the Short Boy had returned from overseas. On Thursday fancy coffees and pots of tea were sprea...

Daily Zone 1 & 2 Confession: May 2006
http://daily12confession.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 31, 2006. This morning Melbourne Train Girl walked past her almost best friend's car on the way to the station. She picked up a leaf and wrote a message on it, and slipped it under his windscreen wiper. WILL YOU BE HOME FOR DINNER? She wondered if he would notice it, or if he would brush it away, thinking it was just a fallen leaf. While waiting for him with her handbag and umbrella, she had wondered if she would even recognise him. She had been a little drunk when they had met. They had w...

Daily Zone 1 & 2 Confession: Sisters
http://daily12confession.blogspot.com/2006/07/sisters.html
Wednesday, July 26, 2006. Be watching the final episode of The OC? Melbourne Train Girl's middle sister asked with a smile and raise of her eyebrow. Melbourne Train Girl knew the look. She and her two sisters shared very few physical features. But mannerisms: all three were perfect reflections of each other. Well, if you change your mind, the Baby Sister and I will be downstairs. You can join the party.". Melbourne Train Girl had cried that night, as the red stain had spread rapidly. Oh noquick, clean it!
