The Distance Between Gates  ·  Sauro

What the Days Are Made Of

Confinement, one vignette at a time. It arrives as objects: a property card, a footlocker, a stapler that becomes the best thing in a room.

There is accumulation: the way a place gets into a person by repetition, the way a routine becomes a personality, the way competence bought at a cost keeps getting used long after the cost stops being visible.

Which of us writes the next line.

At its center, a survival self: practiced, procedural, fluent in a currency that circulates in one place only. And the man who has to decide whether he gets to keep it.

A debut. Meant to be read straight through or in pieces, letting the weight collect.
