Today in Borders Books, in Brighton, Matt of Standard 8 installing one of my stories, working from Richard's original artwork...




... watched from the lift by Japanese tourists. The story - 23: ...the sheer nothingy-ness of her dad - sits on the glass wall, and is lit from behind by the lift when it's at that floor.

After this they moved down to a phone box on the seafront on which they were installing the story only to find someone had kicked the glass out last night. Thanks to Steve Gilson of BT who's organising a repair.

People are dead nice, sometimes.

The site 41places is now fully live, too. Well, mostly.

thank you

i'm probably the last person you expect a comment from but i must say 41 places is a genius idea and a fantastic art work besides i as an asylum seeker must thank you to choose my story mainly because it shows there's more to a refugee than just a burden or an excess luggage,any way thank you again for your honesty in telling our story.

MORE! Send me MORE! Un-MADE-Up eats stories. If you've enjoyed the work published here on Un-Made-Up, maybe you'd like to add to this collection. If you have a true story that you would like to submit to Un-Made-Up please send it to me.
