HOLA

And forgive me if those 10 “chapter” entries were deca WTF. I was serializing the opening of my micro-novel, Halo.

The micro-novel is designed to be a quick jolt of a story-- maybe 50 to 75 chapters that you could take down in an hour-- with lots of silent spaces and nooks.

So, the disappearing telephone wires in Chapter 1 could bring to mind broken conversations. And the selected voice (“would stretch out”) could add to that sense of disconnectedness. And/or the scene could be meant to convey a dark, overcast early fall afternoon.

Mind you, I wouldn't argue with the position that the enterprise to date is a complete and abject failure.

But fuck, points for trying, right?
