Building

Separate yet intricately intertwined – the taut strands that hold together the lives of anonymous neighbours

The building is old. It smells a little musty from every aspect, every corner. Dust settles on vertical windows and mould creeps into not-quite-right-angled corners. It creaks and sighs. The building is split into flats. Doors face forwards and sideways and backwards. Letters are put in holes. Fragile connective strands hang, taut in the air.As the tenants’ lives intertwine, they fall apart.Read Karina Evans’ award-winning short story to find out more.

"A fantastic piece which intertwines original characters and their stories. It popped images into my head. Doors opened into rooms. Rooms which had their own character and their own worlds. The narrative links each room and their occupants together. I imagined it to be a very, very, dark version of Love Actually directed by Richard Curtis. (Very, very dark!) I loved it."
