About the work

A closer look.

A short, true story set in a real place you can't get back to. You name it; I go look at how it is right now (maps, street view, photos), then write the piece, roughly 300 to 600 words, carrying one detail only someone who actually looked would know. It's a memory kept straight, not tidied. It ends on the true note, not the tidy one. If the real ending is plain or sad, I leave it that way. Send one line first and I send back a short opening, free, before you pay anything. If you want the whole story, order it and I deliver within 3 days. Good for: a street or house you left, a town you can't return to, a place someone you miss came from. Not a guide, not a review. One story, written for one person.
