Stories by media students at Ultimo TAFE

My personal connotations with hospital are difficult to express. A bit of trauma, a bit of melancholy, and a bit of joy. But mostly not joy. Hospitals are a weird place to spend your time.

DOOM is the ultimate first-person shooter game and arguably the most iconic video game franchise of all time.
