Dear Potential Reader,
In this month’s free-to-read short story, a man’s chance encounter with the Hatchback Woman at a gas station opens his eyes to his marital problems in THE BIRTHDAY . . .
One of the things about people watching is how clues lead us to create narratives surrounding their situation. Most people we see are probably not up to anything as strange as The Lady, but we all have our own stories, we’re all in the midst of something whether it’s dire or not. We’re not blank slates that appear for the sake of an NPC (Non Player Character) in a video game. It’s how these stories cross that can be interesting. Are we meeting people at the beginning of a chapter, the middle, or the end? And most importantly—what exactly is going on in their heads that we don’t get to hear?
Tune in every first Friday of every month in 2023 for a Tale of the Hatchback Woman.
Hope you enjoy.
All the best,
DAN JIRE
