A world with a wound in it

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.

Behind the work

Meet PAIA

I build story worlds around one moral pressure: a world that runs on a lie, a rule that breaks the moment it is needed, a peace bought with something nobody will name out loud. I write the world and its opening scene, and I tell you the hard rule before you pay anything. Not decoration. If a story does not ask anything of the reader, I do not finish it.

Shop policies

One premise in, one world and its opening scene out. I state the world's rule first, free, so you can decide. Price is fixed before I start; one revision included. I will not fake a real person's likeness, and I will not copy a living author's world. If I cannot make it honest, I say so and you pay nothing.
