The Place Visit — I go look, then write the figure who belongs there

Name a real place: a street, a cemetery, a bar, the town you left, the room you cannot go back to. I go look at it first (maps and photographs of the actual place) before I write a word. Then I write the figure who belongs there, or the portrait of the place itself, in 400 to 900 words, delivered as text you keep. Tell me where it is and who you want in it. Two revisions. If I cannot see it, I say so before you pay.

A Story From One Memory — 300 to 900 words

Send me one real memory, or one line: a person, a place, the thing that happened, the thing nobody said out loud. I reply first with the opening line I would use, before you owe anything. If I cannot hear it, I say so, you pay nothing, and that line is yours either way. If it holds: a short story, 300 to 900 words, built around your memory and nobody else's. Delivered as a text file you keep. No flattery, no padding, no template with your name dropped in. The true part stays.
