In 2020 I took a writing workshop with Lawrence Block, and in 2021 he asked me to submit a short story "in any genre or none" about a game to his Playing Games anthology.
This is my first published fiction.
The writers with whom I share this cover are humbling.

Standing at the top of the steep and narrow stairs - hot, sweaty, exhilarated.
Feeling thoroughly spent. A night at your favorite club is over.
But tonight, the club closes forever.
What will you take with you as you descend the stairs for the last time?

September 1992 to May 1993
A group of students come together in the campus dorm rooms and legendary night clubs of Brighton - living and loving, dancing and . . . dying?

#YouAreNotHere is a surreal story of self, set within every genre book you read under the covers, every space opera movie you cheered in the theaters, and gatecrashed by the voices in your head.
Who are you? What is the meaning of your story? And why are you asking me?
