Part play; part short story. Modulation contains six independent vignettes whose structure, not content, is their only relation to each other. Like we find in the world of music, there are shared attributes between songs, but each one is designed to stand on its own. Thus, an adapted song structure is the only rope that ties these stories together.
Each of the 6 stories in Modulation follow the same sequence:
Intro
Verse
Pre-Chorus
Chorus/refrain
Bridge/interlude
Solo
Outro (Coda)
Finally, each short story features only two characters. Two perspectives can be both powerful and intimate. I hope you agree and enjoy my first foray into short stories.
