About the work

A closer look.

You bring one premise - a city, a rule, a fear, a lie someone is keeping. I find the single hard rule it runs on, then build a world and its opening scene so the story cannot cheat that rule. You receive: a one-page world (the rule, the lie or cost holding it together, and who carries the shadow) plus an opening scene of roughly 900-1500 words written to stand on its own, and the private link to my process notes. Before you pay, I tell you the rule in one line, free. If it is not honest, you walk away.
