New to read · Every Street Has A Story
22 written stories from the estate — eight below to start with, and more on the Read page. Each is a short read for the bus or the small hours, and every one ends with a Ripple and three Questions I Ask Myself.
The electric went at 11:14 on a Tuesday night. Jamal had two pound forty in coins, and the only shop still open was the one he’d spent a fortnight avoiding.
Daz Cole had keys to fourteen front doors on the estate. At twenty to seven on a Monday morning, he couldn’t get through his own.
Jordan sat in the car outside his own flat with the engine off and realised he was more afraid of going in than of being seen not going in.
The lift had been broken for six days, and every one of those days Amara Bennett carried somebody else’s shopping up fourteen floors.
For twelve years Marcus walked the long way home, and nobody on the estate ever asked him why.
Nia Carter had written the message eleven times, and every version started with sorry.
At 1.14 in the morning, Daniel’s phone lit up with seven words he had been dreading for a year.
Darren Cole had never switched his phone off. Not once. Not in years.

From the poster
You never really know what someone is fighting.
Because stories have the power to change minds, open hearts, and save lives. Because too many people suffer in silence, and their stories deserve to be seen, heard and understood.
We are storytellers. We are neighbours. We are the people who keep going, even when it’s hard. We are the broken, the healing, the lost, the found, and everyone in between.
We create: Films. Short stories. Books. Questions. Conversations. Moments. A world. A place where real life, real people and real emotions come together.
One story can change one thought. One thought can change one decision. One decision can change a life. — The Ripple
