This story is one of my most prolific, to date. I once told it on stage at Barefaced Stories in Perth as an 8 minute piece and just recently it came out in Readers Digest Magazine.
Readers Digest has bittersweet memories for me. My lovely grandmother used to have these small magazines stacked on her bedside table and I would devour them along with every other piece of reading material I came across as a 10 year old child.
