    By nine forty-five the UniBar is quiet, and the energy is waning with each passing minute. This wouldn’t be an issue on a Friday or Saturday night, but it’s a Tuesday and the patrons are struggling to find an excuse to justify staying out just a little bit later. The room needs an injection of…

    Our identity is the most important thing to any of us, who wants a world of clones? It’s important that we don’t take ourselves too seriously, though. I’m a straight white man, I understand attention to all other genders and sexualities isn’t an attack or some plot to alienate and villainise mine. We’re all people,…

    Marie slips the nail of her ring finger beneath the sleeve of her thick woollen jacket, peeling it back to reveal the watch face. Its little hand paces impatient circles around eight forty-five, collecting frantic seconds. She sighs with frustration, shuffling her boots in the snow. He is fifteen minutes late.

    We all struggle with identity, being caught between who we want to be and what everyone would prefer us to be. We’ll all come to an age where we don’t have the slightest idea who we are as people. We may realise who we are, act as who we are, but to the dismay and…
