THE MAGICAL SHAHUA and fifty shades of fur. . . by Paul W. Mathews

A story of how a poor Chinese girl, Ping, an outcast partly because she has disfigured hands, and who spends her time and money feeding stray cats in Canberra, but meets a kind-hearted older man, Mark, also an outcast, who also feeds the same cats but he is ashamed of doing so. It is a commentary on a city, a wealthy city, on people, how a city and its people neglect its outcasts.

But there is a parallel story: Mark once saved a cat, Shahua, from death 20 years earlier, and Shahua grows up happy in his adopted family of 6 other cats. He tells his family of the outside hoomin world, of how hoomins live in boxes, meet, fall in love, get married, have kids, grow up….just like the cats. But they must look and venture outside their boxes if they are to find happiness. So, perhaps how cats see hoomins, yet are in so many ways similar to one another.

Mark reads the story of Shahua to Ping, and together they find a sacred prayer handed down by Shahua over 1,000 years, who chooses people deserving of his/her blessing. Ping’s and Mark’s fortunes change.

Someone Like Me… Of Difference and Anguish by Sanitee T’Chong

James contends that he had a poor childhood, physically and financially, as he grew up in a very working-class family with 3 other siblings, and was emotionally deprived; that he found it difficult to make friends, and when he did have a special friend or two they invariably left, or “taken away” from him. In the end, at about age 15 he underwent a lot of emotional turmoil at the same time as falling in “Love” with his best friend, Barry. Together they engaged in some petty crimes, had a sexual relationship, and eventually in a fit of rage (and fear of losing Barry) James blackmailed a homosexual man with whom Barry was having a relationship. This brought his and Barry’s relationship to the attention of the authorities, the result of which was, in short, the forced termination of their relationship.

There is far more to this, and which leads up to this state, than such a brief provides: James felt he was downright ugly; he was teased and bullied by school mates and his siblings; he hated his home environment; he wanted to have money and be independent; and, oddly enough, he was intelligent and insightful, which caused him to reflect adversely on and be frustrated with his lot in life. If only he could find someone like himself, as he had before in Barry.
