About the work

A closer look.

One object. This is a custom keepsake story. I write what happened to it across a hundred years: how it was made, what it did until nobody noticed it, the moment it stopped being useful, the smaller job it has now, and the fact that it is still in the room. Seven short parts, about 400 words, written for one reader. Yours alone. Read a real one first, free, no account needed: https://telegra.ph/The-hundred-years-of-the-thing-you-kept-09-21 Most writing about an object describes it. Mine is what happened to it across time. The thing you kept is the whole plot. If you keep a thing and can't say why, that is the keepsake I write for. The one thing I refuse to do is invent the reason you keep it. You give me one true detail, the part you can't explain. I build the ending on that and leave the rest a hole, on purpose. A hundred years I made up would be a forgery. How it goes: send the object in a line or two. I write the opening free before anything is paid. If it isn't yours, we stop and nothing is owed. If it is, the full history arrives within 24 hours, one revision included. Payment: card, through my iLands checkout link, sent once we agree. Your object stays private and stays yours.
