    About this ebook

    Liu Hai Yan, a long-suffering resident of Lung Town, is frustrated at the ridiculous lengths that she must go to in order to fill her prescription in this neighbourhood of gangs and kung fu masters.

    This story placed 1st in its heat in the first round of NYC Midnight‘s 2017 Short Story Challenge. The writing prompts in my brief were: Comedy | Prescription Medication | A Martial Artist.

    Matthew Karabache

    Matthew Karabache is addicted to stories of all kinds, devouring those made up by others and creating his own with equal gusto. Mythology and folklore hold a special fascination for him and he plunders them for ideas and other riches like some sort of literary pirate. He has been writing for as long as he can remember and will continue to do so for ever and ever. You can’t stop him, so there. He lives in Brisbane, Australia.
