Introduction: The title is meta - I am trying to wean off antidepressants, and boy howdy am I feeling the pain. Writing (poorly) was an old habit, and picking it up again is one way to try and relieve the pain.This world is largely similar to our own, but with a hint of magical realism.This is the story of a young wizardly woman (she's trying to make friends with animals, you see), trying to make her way in the world. Merly has been pent up, living in the Sydney rat-race. She yearns for the peace of a cabin in the woods. How does the cosy cabin life compare to the thrill of the city?...
