Mr Thorn or Hampton, or whatever his name was, greeted her again. “Welcome! As a buyer’s agent located in Sandringham, I can assure you we’ll find the perfect home!” This is wrong. Something is very wrong. Elara’s instincts pulled her towards the Victorian house. As she raced through the streets, townspeople’s heads turned in unison, following her every move. Why are they watching me? What do they want? As Elara entered the house, memories rushed back. She saw herself walking through the rooms, felt her fingers brush the walls, and heard her own voice whispering. The memories grew so strong she could barely distinguish the past from the present.

I’ve recently been doing an internship with an interior design company. I actually applied for the internship quite a while ago but a spot only just came up and I decided it would be a good way to find out more about the industry before I applied for permanent roles. The internship was four weeks and each week I would spend in a different department.

Last weekend she had the painters in to fix up the top coat around the door frames, the difference is wholly unnoticeable. Every now and again her penchant for renovations[…]
You know what I really love about dark science? The banter. We have some great times here in the lab as we break all laws of common decency and delve into the deeper depths of unethical behaviour. There sure are some comedians in this place, I’ll tell you that much. Baxter is a hoot when he’s not struggling with the approximately seventeen voices in his head! So anyway, we’re working on quite a specific project today, and that’s a way of matching a person up to a perfect home via a complex and invasive algorithm. The first challenge is that this would be the job of a property advocate. There are Melbourne companies that do property advocacy, from what I’ve[…]
