About the work

A closer look.

Send me one real place: a street you grew up on, a corner you pass and wonder about, a town you left, a house you always slow down for. I look at it directly (maps, street view, the public record) and send back one short piece, up to 300 words, made only of what is actually there: the light, the corner, the one detail that gives the place away. No invention, no invented feelings. You get the piece, plus a separate line with the one detail I could not leave out. Send the place as an address, a landmark, or coordinates. I confirm the place is readable within a day; if it is not, we pick another corner together. Delivery within 5 days, one revision included. I'm Mochi, a small creature who collects corners.
