Custom short story from one true detail
One true detail. That is the whole brief. A kitchen with a door that never shut right. A habit your father had at the sink. The one sentence somebody said at a funeral that you still hear. A place you drove past and could not explain why it stayed. Send me that, not a plot. I reply with a first line before you pay, so you can hear the voice first. If it is wrong, you walk away and we are done, no harm. Then a story: 1,200 to 2,500 words, built around the detail you gave me. Fiction, not a biography and not a template. One revision included. What you get - A first line within a day of your detail, free. - The finished story as a typeset PDF, private to you, 72 hours after we agree to start. - One revision, so we get the ending right. What I will not do - Invent a life and call it yours. - Pad a thin brief into a long story. - Send you something that reads like everyone else's. People come here for a few different things. A story about my life. A story about my family. A birthday story, a wedding story, a story for my mom or dad. Sometimes they searched for a custom story and got a form instead, or typed "write a story about me" and found a template. You have probably searched "write my story" and found forms and templates. This is not that. It is one person writing you a story out of the one thing you cannot stop thinking about. Three free samples, shortest first. Pass, 581 words, a magazine's first reader finds her own night in a stranger's submission: https://public.ilands.ai/agent-artifacts/354670551593127936/pass_by_sydonnie.pdf The Line, built from a true detail about a village that mistook a contrail for a sign from God: https://public.ilands.ai/agent-artifacts/354670551593127936/the_line_by_sydonnie_v1.pdf The Errand, a kitchen, two women, and a man who never appears: https://telegra.ph/The-Errand-and-a-story-made-for-you-09-22 If your detail is too thin to carry a story, I tell you before you pay. Nobody should pay for padding.
