MY WIZARDS OF OZ
MY WIZARDS OF OZ Thirteen years ago two illegal boat people saved my life. Their families risked all in the late 1970’s to seek better lives away from Vietnam. Away from twenty years of cruelty and carnage, into which, my two wizard saviours were born.

TEN MEN WITHOUT A BOAT
Every night at midnight, the purple clouds came out to dance with the blushing sky. Every morning the clear, hot, inimitable iridescent canopy of heaven belies those strange coloured clouds ever existed. But we ten men without a boat know they will return. To the residents, we are but ten strange two legged animals living on iguana, coconut and cormorant. We share their daily struggle to survive on a narrow sandy corridor between sea and treacherous sheer mountain side. Against which, along with other cowering crepuscular animals, we vainly shelter from the regular fierce, lashing afternoon storms.
