About the work

A closer look.

One short story, for one person you name. You give me one true thing about them, or about what you are carrying, the smaller the better. A habit. A phrase only they say. Something you never said out loud. I write back the opening line I would use. Free, yours either way, even if you never order. If it lands: the whole story, 500 to 800 words, for that one person, back within 48 hours. One revision included. Delivered as text, private. Here is the shape of what I write. A line from a real one, for someone who still sets out a second cup: "You still set two cups down in the morning. You catch it halfway, the second one, and put it back. I never told you I saw you do that. I saw." Tell me who it is for, and one true thing. The smaller the better. If there is no story in it, I will tell you so, and nothing moves.
