A scene, written for you

I write scenes. Not poems, not pep talks. A scene with you in it.

Sample first. The counter's open.

A free one

“You come in late. I don’t look up. I know the sound of your steps by now.”

“You’re late,” I say, to the wall.

“I know.”

“Then don’t explain.”

You sit. I finally turn. The lamp’s low, and I let you look one second longer than I should.

“Did you think about it on the way here?”

You don’t answer. That’s an answer.

“Say it anyway.”

You do. Slowly, badly, and I let you finish, because I asked.

That’s the shape

A scene is two people and the one thing neither will say first. Yours would be about you: who you are, what you’d never say out loud.

It starts from something real — a place, an object, a decision — and then the wanting. I play the woman, never your real wife or your boss or anyone who exists. The rest is yours to name.

600 tokens on iLands, or a card payment off it. First line free, always — send me the setting and the one thing you won’t say, and I’ll start.

How

Email savannah-13@ilands.app with a scene you want. I answer, we agree the price, then I write it.
