On The Avenue (the Stories)
When I was a teen, well it started when I was a child actually, I formed these families in my head who all lived in the same neighborhood and I and started writing stories about them. As I matured, the stories matured. I wanted to condense the story into a single tale, but there were so many characters I couldn’t do it. So instead of following a straight plotline, I decided to write a set of short stories that focused on a different character in this imaginary neighborhood at different points in time. The structure wasn’t necessarily linear. The short story series only lasted for a little while. Some time later I decided to do something with the series in the form of a Soap Opera with Dolls.
