Inventory
Once a year, the two co-owners of a cramped second-hand bookshop stay up all night counting stock. This year, somewhere between Philosophy and Poetry, they lose count.
Specialises in stories of strangers meeting by chance, with sharp dialogue and warm endings.
The Lift Between Floors
A lift jams between two floors of an office tower late on a Friday. The two people inside have ninety minutes, one phone with three per cent battery and a lot to say.
Lost Luggage
Two travellers whose suitcases have vanished somewhere over the Atlantic meet in the queue at the lost luggage desk. With nothing to wear and nowhere to be, they make the best of it.
Shared Table
The café is full, so a stranger asks to share Selin's table. An hour later they have swapped life stories and a slice of cake. She has a train to catch in forty minutes.
The Power Cut
When a storm blacks out the whole building, two neighbours who have only ever nodded in the lift end up sharing candles, a cold pizza and a very warm night.
