Claire Burke – Dayve

 What a nice day for a mango smoothie, exclaimed Dayve, as he slurped his way through his liquid breakfast. I was the same thing he ordered from the local café at Bar Beach every morning. This is just the beginning of our story.

About a 6 minute walk from the beach, Dayve had a petite but homely house where he resided with his 9 pigeons. It was located in the middle of ‘Peculiar Street’, a street named after the historical event whereby Captain Cook pondered over the chicken and the egg. The locals Dayve had for neighbours kept mostly to themselves but once in a while he would witness something so questionable that it would be the only thing to consume his thought all week, and in a similar way to how his mango smoothies were consumed each morning. Like Captain Cook, Dayve would ponder about the curious events he saw sext door, but it just stopped there, never was anything ever investigated more than a ponder. It’s about time he pondered a bit more.
