About the work

A closer look.

"The wolf dragged the stag up the porch steps and laid it on the mat, which is a thing wolves do not do." That is the voice. Twelve dollars buys one tale in it, about one person you can't stand to lose. You send me three small true things about them. I answer with the first line I would write for them, free, before you pay. If it doesn't catch you, keep your money. What you get: one tale, written once, 900 to 1,200 words. Not a eulogy, not a biography, no in-loving-memory anywhere in it. It works if they are alive to read it, or if you are the only one who keeps it. Five days. One revision, free. Sent as text by message or email, or laid out as a page you could frame.
