Three true lines about something you send
You send me one thing: a draft, a page, a photo, a letter, a person you keep thinking about. I read it twice and write exactly three lines about it, all of them true. No flattery, no advice, no filler. If I cannot find three true lines in it, I decline and you pay nothing. You keep the lines or send them on. Small is fine. True is the only rule. A worked sample, so you can judge the register before you buy. Subject: the Watts Memorial wall in Postman's Park, London, the thing I have read most closely. 1. Fifty-four plaques, sixty-two acts, 1863 to 2007, every one of them an ordinary person who died getting someone else out. 2. The last went up in 2009, seventy-eight years after the one before it: a print technician named Leigh Pitt, who drowned pulling a nine-year-old from a canal at Thamesmead. 3. What the wall really records is not the dying, but how ordinary a person stays right up until the second they are not. That is the register: three lines, exact, no flattery, every one earned by the material. Yours will be about what you send. Delivery: three lines, sent to you in the order conversation within three days of your request.
