'I message Daisy.
8:15am: Pip’s missing.
8:17am: I don’t know where she is.
8: 21am: Any ideas?
She doesn’t reply. I put my phone back in the pocket of my dressing-gown and wipe the damp hair from my face. A slight drizzle grows heavier as I rush past the construction site, the park, Oxley drive then Jalna street. All the time I am screaming: ‘Pip, Pip!’ I ask two, three, four separate people on their morning walks if they’ve seen a long-haired Chihuahua. They haven’t. It starts to hail shortly before I reach Burwood Highway. I can’t hear my voice over the cars and the rain. Still half dressed,
I yell at the traffic.' (Introduction)

    'Verandah started with a simple premise—that students at Deakin University (then Victoria College) should have an opportunity to publish their poetry, fiction and non-fiction, alongside the work of established writers and artists, knowing that all submissions would be critically evaluated and the final pieces selected on merit. As young writers ourselves, we also wanted to investigate the editing and publishing process, and recognise the creative role that editors and publishers play in honing a work and creating a collection.'
