| ***BIO*** Alison Eastley: I live in Tasmania, Australia. My son James has instructed me not to write a bio except I must mention (repeatedly) how wonderful his mate Macca is. Macca is a half-blind, half-witted Piscean content to wear orange sunglasses and a cool attitude despite the time he got chewing gum stuck to his pale bue t-shirt. |

| A Mountain Or A Molehill? |
| by Alison Eastley |
| A question popped up
on my computer screen from a stranger who plays pool with my husband on the Internet. He wanted to know if any progress had been made after I answered the phone to hear my husband's ex-girlfriend say he's fucking her. It sounded like something from The Jerry Springer Show, the drama of wanting to be completely obscene even if it means the next day reading the computer screen, 'my wife is getting out of bed...write later, I'll tell you the rest. Strange things happen when I suffer lack of sleep the same way a question answered is never complete. I was expected to believe the pool player was really asking was it OK to go mountain bike riding with a girl he used to know and because he's shy the secret had to be kept which makes me wonder why this stranger from the Internet knows more about my marriage except for one small thing that has nothing to do with mountain bike riding or fucking an ex. No. It has everything to do with my husband's addiction to morphine swallowed as he sat on the couch watching The Jerry Springer Show twice a day until I asked him to leave and when he did, four days later he was happily walking down the street with the ex who had phoned. |
