18.01.2022 http://mpan.com.au/too-short-stories/ In the last couple of weeks I've been writing a short story for the Missing Persons Advocacy Network. It's been an overwhelming responsibility. But, more so, an honour to have Sevak's family share their son and brother's story. An excerpt from each one will be coupled with a piece of street art, installed where each person was last seen.
