Dystopian fast fiction about the future they're building. Short, sharp stories you can finish on your lunch break and think about for weeks.
Start anywhere. Each story stands alone.
Fast fiction from the edge of collapse.
A world that's quietly ending: the rules tighten, the money thins out, and everyone agrees not to notice. Each story takes minutes to read. Some stay with you much longer.
The state takes most of what you earn. Money watches where you spend it. One wrong thought can cost you everything.
Dystopian fast fiction from a not-so-distant future, with a foreword by Alex James.

These days I'm writing about the search for freedom: of money, of speech, and of where you choose to live. Most of it happens on X.
