Materials Attributed to K.D. St.Cross

Some items have been verified. Others have merely resisted being disproved.

The Editor is cataloguing the collection as time, condition, and common sense permit.

THE MANUSCRIPT BOX

The Manuscript Box

K.D. recently delivered a box of manuscripts for future publication.

The box arrived without an inventory. Several folders were clearly labeled. Others were not.

A few contained complete manuscripts. Some included alternate endings, handwritten corrections, photographs, maps, receipts, and notes whose connection to the accompanying work remains unclear.

No conclusions should be drawn from the arrangement of the folders. The Editor has already made that mistake.

Selected Files

The Echo of My Desire

A manuscript involving hidden abilities, temptation, desire, and consequences. Scheduled for release in 2027.

DOCUMENTS OF UNCERTAIN RELEVANCE

Documents of Uncertain Relevance

  • A motel key with no room number.
  • A photograph of an empty railway platform.
  • Three pages written on hotel stationery.
  • A road map marked in violet ink.
  • A receipt dated several years before the business opened.
  • An envelope containing another sealed envelope.
  • A note reading: “Keep these together.”

The note was not attached to anything.

A Note from the Editor

An archive suggests order.

I would like to clarify that this is an aspiration.

The folders continue to multiply, several labels have been crossed out, and K.D. recently asked whether I had found “the second box.”

There has been no second box.

At least, not yet.
