Under waning moons

HE & HIM are on their way back from a gig in central London. Rain beats down upon them as they cut through the dark streets and alleyways towards HIM's flat. It's only the second time they've met.

Driven by a mixture of sexual and intellectual curiosity, Under waning moons is a short story told through four chapters and nine photographs. Obscuring time and moving through prose, script, automatic writing and poetry, primarily it explores the slow dissolve of a relationship through both its content and narrative structure. Discussing the tensions, reliefs and relative blisses that follow the discovery, and eventual separation, of a short and unforgettable bond.

Composed of 22 pages, 2,500 words & 9 photographs. Scroll down below to see a selection of pages from the pamphlet.
