What to expect
This collection of stories explores the hidden, sentient lives of discarded objects in a fictional city. The narrative is set in the “Residual World", a subterranean reality where waste and debris possess memories, emotions, and a shared history. Through personified characters like Barnaby and Matilda, two pieces of canine waste whose union eventually leads to the sprouting of a dandelion, the author illustrates themes of reincarnation and resilience. Other tales detail the unlikely bonds formed between forgotten items, such as a bent key and a chipped button, which together find new purpose through artistic intervention. The chronicles suggest that nothing is ever truly finished, as even the most overlooked urban fragments contribute to a profound, secret legacy.
