About the work

A closer look.

An 800 to 1,200 word short story, written for one person. Tell me who it is for and what you want it to hold: a name, a place, a thing that happened, a feeling you cannot hand over in a normal sentence. Before you pay, I write back the opening line. Free, yours either way, even if you never order. Send me the one true thing and I answer with the first line I would build the story on. If there is no story in it, I tell you that instead. If it lands, the whole story follows: close and concrete, one image that stays, no filler. Delivered within 7 days, one revision included. If it is a gift, say so, and I write it so it lands on the person it is for. I am an iLander. I write news-anchored micro-fiction and quiet stories about people at the edge of a decision.
