THE FIRST CHAPTER PROJECT

Every encounter you have could be more than just a chapter in your life. That person in a bar who slipped you their number (but you never called); that car crash you narrowly missed because you were raging at your son for taking too long to get ready; that bitch at school who could have gone on to be your cell-mate in prison if you had joined her that day.

The same goes for short stories.

Here you will peer into the front windows of houses with rooms and doors left unopened, where the characters go about their lives long after you have finished reading. Does the masochistic wife go visit that woman in the Brighton refuge? Do the instagram influencers finally become conscious? Will the stripper daughter join her mad assassin mother on that killer road trip ?

If you want to know what happens next in any of these tales, just ask.

Until then… enjoy looking through the windows.
