1. A Killing Frost
A tight-knit group of teenage resistance fighters in occupied rural Australia struggle to keep their campaign alive through a harsh winter, mounting sabotage and guerrilla raids while facing increasing danger, personal loss, and moral uncertainty; as operations grow bolder and the costs of resistance climb, the protagonist must reckon with leadership, loyalty and the blurred line between survival and becoming what they are fighting against.

2. The Rabbits
An allegorical tale that follows the arrival of foreign, industrialized rabbits to a native land whose mechanized expansion, new laws and relentless resource extraction displace and decimate the original inhabitants and their environment; the story traces the cultural and ecological destruction, the futile attempts to resist or adapt, and the mournful transformation of the landscape into something unrecognizable.
