Embracethe Hit

Free · No catch

Chapter
one

A stranger in a WeWork kitchen asked if I had ever considered skeleton. I said yes before I understood what I had agreed to. Tell me where to send it and the first chapter is yours.

One chapter, straight away. After that, a letter only when there is something worth sending.
