    James Pollard

    I lived in Japan about for about 7 years in the 90s but moved back to Australia at the turn of the century. I earned a crust teaching basic Japanese in high school for a few years before moving to teaching ESL. I studied law part-time during this period and now work as a criminal lawyer in the outback of Australia spending my time in the courts on circuit as an advocate for indigenous Australians. Writing is a hobby and a way of coming to terms with my time in Japan and the transition back to life in Australia. Anyway, please enjoy my literary contributions and I hope to get something else up sometime in the future. Maybe my experiences in the Kimberley regions of Western Australia?

      The After

      He is sitting opposite me, staring blankly like a dead fish. Stone eyes. Cobalt and lifeless. Pale gray skin, dripping scales. I imagine him hauled out of the water and dumped on the riverbank, gasping for breath. Just as he deserves. I only agreed t
