First came the hair cut – off with the curly locks, never to return, even today.

Then taking the scissors to the jeans. Slash, slash, slash.

And, of course, boots, Doc Martens. Black, sixteen holes – what else?

 The Spirit of Punk by Nicolas Brasch

Originally wrote this piece for an open mic event I host for emerging writers called The Spirit of Punk, in which writers are encouraged to read their work without fear of judgement or failure or criticism - in the spirit of punk.

Nicolas is a writer and teacher of writing; Chair of Writers Victoria and former host of The Garret podcast on which he interviews leading writers on the craft of writing.

You can find Nicolas on his website, Twitter, and Instagram.

Inspired by flash fiction and the narrative non-fiction form, Memoria is a show which explores slices of life; moments in time that have transformed people and shaped who they have become. Whether it was the moment leaving a destructive relationship or the joy of discovering the taste of Wizz Fizz sugar packets, these 400-word snapshots will be adapted into audio stories with actors, music, and sound.
