The Hungry Chimera is an independent literary magazine that features short fiction, poetry and visual art.

Thank you to the magazine editors Afton and Stevie for accepting my short story “Waiting”  — now published in Issue 3 .

This short fiction is in some ways an exploration of the classic tanka themes of longing and loss: but in prose, with an Australian setting and more story details sketched in.

I hope you enjoy reading it online (or in print)!
