Madison Hamill is unsure whether she is just a figment of her own imagination. She has a close emotional bond with a stuffed capybara. Her debut essay collection, Specimen, which includes the piece featured in this journal, is being published in 2020 by Victoria University Press. You can also read her work on the Spinoff, Sweet Mammalian, Turbine | Kapohau and Scum, or listen on RNZ.
