this is a story

Have you ever had a story in your head that you wanted to share? A story you were convinced was worth telling, without having to ever rationalise it to anyone? I have. Which is why, after plenty of consideration, I've decided to tell it; to whoever is interested in listening.

There's a twist, however: This story is going to be told in bits, unfolded over time to form the hopefully comprehensible whole I have in mind. Every week, I'm going to publish what I'm going to refer to as a "slice", a little snippet around a page or two in length. Don't ask me how many of these there are going to be - I can't tell you, because I don't know. What I can tell you is that what I want to bring across can't be done justice in just a few pages.

There will be no synopsis, no blurb intended to generate sales. This is a story in what I hope will be its purest form, written for no target market, edited by no one for suitability and appropriateness, sculpted and structured without the luxury of hindsight. I will not have the advantage of polishing and changing after re-consideration as traditional writers do. Once something has been read, it's cast in the reader's mind, whether their mind is stone or not. Rather, I should say whether your mind is stone or not.

Enough explanations.

This is the story.

Update: The first slice of the story starts here (the home link above will always show the very latest slice).
