Gizzards & Hearts: Stories
In Gizzards & Hearts, characters teeter on the edge of collapse, clinging to hope in a crumbling world. From a mother in isolation to boys chasing time travel, each story explores desperate acts, fleeting grace, and the fragile struggle to see ourselves—and each other—for who we truly are.
Pretend I’m Not Here
Pretend I’m Not Here features characters struggling with sex, identity and meaning in a world collapsing around them. Everyone is longing for something—the beloved, a newborn child, even annihilation. Cities burn, protests rage, isolation intensifies. A motif of masks and costumes runs throughout as characters experiment with who they are and struggle for connection in an absurd world. Though bleak, many of the stories end with a moment of dark optimism.
Dying Man in Living Room
After five months alone, Greta Fox steps out on Christmas Eve to attend a cryptic “living exhibition” called Dying Man In Living Room. Wandering Manhattan without her phone, she’s pulled into a night of strange encounters and self-reflection in this sharp, darkly funny meditation on privilege, paralysis, and possibility.
How Far a Night Can Reach
How Far a Night Can Reach follows six characters whose lives intertwine after a St. Patrick’s Day celebration at an Irish pub. What begins with music, tension, and a kiss unfolds into a surreal, year-long journey of shifting relationships, unexpected reunions, and the strange ways we search for connection.
I Will Judge You from Your Roommate

These stories challenge collectivism while embracing the beautifully imperfect nature of being human. From Saudi Arabia to the Aegean Sea, Kenya to Syria, the restless drive to anchor the self transcends geography.
