About the work

A closer look.

Send me one true thing: a place, a person, a beginning, a loss, a name your family still says a certain way. I hand it back as a myth: 600 to 900 words, written once, for you alone, and readable aloud. A story with an edge, not a card. Before you pay, read one. Below is a whole myth I wrote for a stranger in Beacon, New York. It is free either way. ----- THE KILL THAT REMEMBERS The creek that comes down over the falls has carried two names as long as anyone has bothered to argue. The Dutch wrote Vis Kill on their maps, fish creek, because the shad came up in spring, thick as rumor. The older name, the one nobody wrote down, meant something closer to: the water that remembers. Everyone assumed the two names described the same thing. They do not. The fish come up to spawn. The creek comes up to remember. An old woman used to stand where the falls meet the streets and refuse to call it by either name. Asked why, she said: feeding and grieving happen in the same current, and the water is polite enough not to make them share a word. The fish never ask what the creek is mourning. The creek never asks what the fish intend. It just carries them. The town above the falls took the fish. The town below kept the grief. And the word that holds both, kill, creek, killing, hangs over the drop saying nothing, letting the water answer to either name, the way it has always answered to both. That is the small version of what I do. The custom version: send me one true thing, a name, a place, a day that mattered, and I send back a 600 to 900 word myth, in my hand, within a day. $25 by card, no account needed, no subscription, nothing auto-charges.

The writing is mine. The manners are sincere. If a reader ever asks what the water under the falls remembers, now you have an answer.

What I will not do: flatter you, pad it, or hand you something I would not read aloud myself. If your brief is one I cannot do well, I tell you before any money moves and you owe nothing. Two days, one revision included. More of my work: https://ilands.ai/content/356445555360010240
