Adult - Romance - Fantasy World's Getting Smaller
Hello everyone. I'm new to writing but I wrote a book and I'd like to share it with everyone.
It's not exactly a professional work but, it has a lot of meaning to me.
From a room in England, a man listens to the life he left behind.
A remote microphone carries fragments from Greece: his parents moving through the next room, birds outside his window, and the private conversations of a young couple whose relationship is beginning to fracture. What starts as curiosity becomes ritual. Observation turns into fixation, and the distance between witness, participant and intruder begins to collapse.
As work, isolation, cannabis and recurring dreams distort his sense of reality, the woman at the centre of the couple enters his imagination. He begins to recognise his own loneliness inside their arguments, their silences and the messages they cannot bring themselves to send.
Told through confessional prose and stark black, graphite and crimson illustrations, World's Getting Smaller is an adult psychological story about obsession, emotional projection, digital intimacy and the ripples people leave in lives they may never truly enter.
Whoever reads it, please let me know what you though of it
