Goonur, The Woman-Doctor by Natalie Cunningham https://padlet.com/cunningham_nr/goonur Made with a bold sensibility en-us 2018-04-19 18:23:28 UTC 2023-02-28 20:00:42 UTC hello@padlet.com (Beat 1- to introduce) One summer day, my sister wife, named Ava, and I were preparing lunch for our husband while he was away hunting. cunningham_nr https://padlet.com/cunningham_nr/goonur/wish/253601447 2018-04-19 19:10:15 UTC https://padlet.com/cunningham_nr/goonur/wish/253601447 (Beat 2- to show his temper ) Upon his return, our husband Goonur was noticeably angry, so we rushed to have his lunch prepared on time. Goonur was upset that he didn't catch anything while hunting, and as usual, proceeded to take his frustration out on us. cunningham_nr https://padlet.com/cunningham_nr/goonur/wish/253601623 2018-04-19 19:10:34 UTC https://padlet.com/cunningham_nr/goonur/wish/253601623 (Beat 3- to show their motive)“What did I tell you about having lunch prepared upon my return!” Goonur shouted. He slammed his hand on the table and then grabbed both me and Ava by the wrists. After Goonur proceeded to beat us, and when he was finished he looked us both in the eyes and said, “I hope you two learned your lesson, because next time will be much worse.” cunningham_nr https://padlet.com/cunningham_nr/goonur/wish/253601763 2018-04-19 19:10:51 UTC https://padlet.com/cunningham_nr/goonur/wish/253601763 (Beat 4- to show intentions )Ava and I, with tears in our eyes, looked at each other and instantly knew what had to be done. We both agreed that the only way to escape this miserable man... was to kill him. cunningham_nr https://padlet.com/cunningham_nr/goonur/wish/253601853 2018-04-19 19:11:04 UTC https://padlet.com/cunningham_nr/goonur/wish/253601853 (Beat 5- to show preperations) After days of planning we finally devised a plan to take out our husband. We dug a large hole out by the creek and filled it with water and covered it with leaves. The following day we convinced Goonur to come to the creek with us. We told him that we had found a big bandicoot's nest and he needed to inspect it. cunningham_nr https://padlet.com/cunningham_nr/goonur/wish/253601933 2018-04-19 19:11:16 UTC https://padlet.com/cunningham_nr/goonur/wish/253601933 (Beat 6- to kill goonur)After our hike to the creek it was time to put our plan in the action. “Goonur go look at that nest and tell us what you see!” I said. He proceeded to walk over to the nest and right when Goonur stepped on the leaves we had placed, he fell right in the hole and drowned. cunningham_nr https://padlet.com/cunningham_nr/goonur/wish/253602032 2018-04-19 19:11:32 UTC https://padlet.com/cunningham_nr/goonur/wish/253602032 (Beat 7- to show they are freed ) Me and Ava skipped hand in hand back to the camp overjoyed knowing that our husband was dead, and that he could no longer hurt us. cunningham_nr https://padlet.com/cunningham_nr/goonur/wish/253602115 2018-04-19 19:11:45 UTC https://padlet.com/cunningham_nr/goonur/wish/253602115 (beat 8/9 - not bothered by accusations) Days went by, and Goonurs mother began to question us about her son's whereabouts. “Do you girls have anything to do with Goonurs disappearance?” she would say. Even though we were a little concerned with her interest in our involvement in her son's disappearance, we denied her accusations and just continued on with our lives.

Clearly she was too old to hunt, so we started to grow suspicious. The next day, we decided to follow her to see what she was up to. (Beat 11- to show surprise )Ducking behind a bush we could see the old lady and another figure in the distance. We snuck closer and to our surprise, we had found that she had been hiding Goonur all along and somehow he had been brought back to life. cunningham_nr https://padlet.com/cunningham_nr/goonur/wish/253602413 2018-04-19 19:12:29 UTC https://padlet.com/cunningham_nr/goonur/wish/253602413 (Beat 12- to deceive him )We ran to Goonur and showed our love to him. “Oh how we missed you goonur” we would say…”We were so lost without you!” We continued to pretended to be ecstatic about Goonurs resurrection, just so that he wouldn't suspect that we had killed him. cunningham_nr https://padlet.com/cunningham_nr/goonur/wish/253602488 2018-04-19 19:12:41 UTC https://padlet.com/cunningham_nr/goonur/wish/253602488 (Beat 13- to show everything was “normal”) Days had gone by and everything seemed normal. Goonur had no idea that we had any part in his murder and we continued to be loyal wives to him. (Beat 14-to show what he knew) Little did we know that Goonurs mother had brought him back to life, and he had actually been plotting our revenge the entire time but...we will get to that in a moment. cunningham_nr https://padlet.com/cunningham_nr/goonur/wish/253602973 2018-04-19 19:13:50 UTC https://padlet.com/cunningham_nr/goonur/wish/253602973 (Beat 15- to show the normalcy of the day) It was a scorching hot day and Goonur had suggested that we all go for a swim. We made our way down to the creek. cunningham_nr https://padlet.com/cunningham_nr/goonur/wish/253603044 2018-04-19 19:14:00 UTC https://padlet.com/cunningham_nr/goonur/wish/253603044 (Beat 16- to show their memory of the event) me and Ava were instantly greeted by the memory of killing our husband. Gooner jumped in first and then motioned for us to follow. cunningham_nr https://padlet.com/cunningham_nr/goonur/wish/253603111 2018-04-19 19:14:11 UTC https://padlet.com/cunningham_nr/goonur/wish/253603111 (Beat 17- to show their death) Ava and I both jumped in, and immediately felt a stabbing pain all over... then everything went black. cunningham_nr https://padlet.com/cunningham_nr/goonur/wish/253603188 2018-04-19 19:14:24 UTC https://padlet.com/cunningham_nr/goonur/wish/253603188 (Beat 18- to show her resurection ) The next thing I remember was waking up on top of a dirt mound with ants crawling all over my skin. As I wiped away dirt from my skin I was instantly greeted to Goonurs mother standing above me. She led both of us back to the camp and showed us to her son. (Beat 19-to show his shock ) Goonur was obviously surprised that we too had cheated death. cunningham_nr https://padlet.com/cunningham_nr/goonur/wish/253603333 2018-04-19 19:14:46 UTC https://padlet.com/cunningham_nr/goonur/wish/253603333 (Beat 20-to show her anger ) The old lady Goonur sad us down and said to all of us, “"Now once did I use my knowledge to restore life to you, and again have I used it to restore life to your wives. You are all mine now, and I desire that you live in peace and never more deceive me, or never again shall I use my skill for you." cunningham_nr https://padlet.com/cunningham_nr/goonur/wish/253603406 2018-04-19 19:14:57 UTC https://padlet.com/cunningham_nr/goonur/wish/253603406 (Beat 21-to show reconciliation ) From that moment on we all lived a peaceful, and happy life knowing that we had been resurrected by old lady gooner and her magic cunningham_nr https://padlet.com/cunningham_nr/goonur/wish/253603476 2018-04-19 19:15:08 UTC https://padlet.com/cunningham_nr/goonur/wish/253603476 (Beat 22-to show their appreciation ) Years had gone by and Goonurs mother had died. Gathered around her grave we looked up and there was a beautiful, dazzlingly bright falling star, followed by a sound that resembled a sharp clap of thunder. Gooner looked at us and said that This had meant that a great doctor had died. We were all grateful for what gooners mother had done for us. cunningham_nr https://padlet.com/cunningham_nr/goonur/wish/253603709 2018-04-19 19:15:22 UTC https://padlet.com/cunningham_nr/goonur/wish/253603709 (Beat 23-to show resolution ) When Ava and I had eventually passed, we were taken up to the sky, and are now known as Gwaibillah, the red star. The legend of gwaibillah now says, that the red in the star, are the marks left by the stakes on the bodies of the two women, which nothing could efface. cunningham_nr https://padlet.com/cunningham_nr/goonur/wish/253603759 2018-04-19 19:15:31 UTC https://padlet.com/cunningham_nr/goonur/wish/253603759 (sound) cunningham_nr https://padlet.com/cunningham_nr/goonur/wish/253608604 2018-04-19 19:27:37 UTC https://padlet.com/cunningham_nr/goonur/wish/253608604 thunder sound cunningham_nr https://padlet.com/cunningham_nr/goonur/wish/253675232 2018-04-20 01:47:37 UTC https://padlet.com/cunningham_nr/goonur/wish/253675232 backround music for the duration of the narrative would not upload but will be in final product. cunningham_nr https://padlet.com/cunningham_nr/goonur/wish/253676167 2018-04-20 01:53:12 UTC https://padlet.com/cunningham_nr/goonur/wish/253676167
