Between the pages

What we tell each other.

Shelly writes to Sarah. Brendan writes for himself. Read their voices together, as each reveals what the other cannot see.

In a manner not so important at this moment, I’ve come into the possession of a collection which I would consider myself selfish if I didn’t share.
About the collection & credits

These 17 entries follow their original publication sequence, rather than the dates inside the fiction. The May 22 letter precedes the May 21 journal entry as originally published. Shelly and Brendan are narrative voices; no writer byline has been assigned from their signatures.

All available entries in the preserved collection are included. This does not establish whether unpublished or otherwise undiscovered installments exist. Original dates, wording and supplied credits are retained.
