An Australian

Posted on July 4, 2003 in Book of Days Encounters

Note: This is part of a series based on exercises from A Writer’s Book of Days. It’s something of a rebellion against the Friday Five and similar tupperware content memes.

Today’s topic: Write about a voice.

Shane’s Australian and I’m sure he talks like all those friends from the brain-shaped continent who I have never met. He’s got the classic nasal and ends his sentences in a tone that sounds jovially dismissive. “Yeeeaaaah!” contains all the tones he uses when he speaks. Phrases swing to the left when they come out of his mouth, hit a wall, and slide to a stop.
