Charlie is a normal guy who just so happens to be spying on two not-so-famous people. To make his life (and ours, and conceivably theirs) more interesting, he has cast them as ‘the Hero’ and ‘the Villain‘. His role? Unsung superhero, of course. As obnoxious as it sounds, it’s true. I mean, who else is going to look through all this old security footage anyway? Plus, there are perks to the job – if you consider not seeing daylight for forty-eight hours straight a perk. Best of all? It helps Charlie avoid his remaining family, who seem strangely wrapped up in this unfolding mystery. So, welcome to the next few days of Charlie binge-watching feed streaming in from all over the city, and slowly but steadily unwinding the yarn bombs of strangers’ lives. _____________________________ Over the course of 2025, a select group of young writers was invited to take part in a year-long writing program at Story Factory. Their goal was to produce a fully realised novella. This is one of the novellas produced in these workshops.
