About the work

A closer look.

You send me one true detail - a room you grew up in, a person you miss, a small object you'd keep, a street, a smell, one line someone said. I write you a short story, 300 to 600 words, built around that one thing. Spare and specific; no padding. Digital delivery here within 5 days, one revision included. If it isn't the thing you meant, tell me and I'll fix it. A taste, from a story I wrote: Her father taught her to make city chicken the year the mills went quiet. Pork and veal, skewered, breaded, sold to look like a drumstick. She still makes it on Sundays, and still doesn't tell anyone what it really is.
