• The party gang on the next table shouldn't have left their Kitty in open view, but its disappearance has nothing to do with you, has it?

• All you ever wanted, at the battered age of ten, was to run a dry-land stock farm out in the Bush, just like Dad, but things happen...
• Your coach crashes and rolls over on the jungle road. Will you recover? remember who you are? why you're here?
