This is one of my first attempts to grasp a completed work through a short novella on the slice-of-life/drama literary genre. It follows the simple yet complex lives of Boris Tindsley, his wife, son, niece and father through a consistent time on an average town near you. Feel free to comment your requests, relatable quotes, shipping and valuable insight.
I've been a member of Wattpad for almost nine months. Some of my older projects include:
The Stream Diaries (an accolade of lost fragments of thought, currently unpublished)
This Book of Lies (a collection of prose and poetry texts on the paradox of existence)
Windows (a writing experiment on the narrative timeline of events)
The Highs and Lows (a two-sided story on the meeting of two conflicting worlds)
johnny and the midcore beasts (the rise and descent of a hero into abyss)
My writing can be described by the words:
#surreal
#sophisticated
#eerie-peerie
#polished
