Lark has taken and collected instant photographs for years. It used to be important to him, that he had these tokens. Solid memory. He’s not sure he wants to remember anymore.

Lark remembers anyway. A terrible road trip, a conservatory practice room, a recording booth, the back of a tour van, a party full of strangers.

When a new friend asks about his photo collection, Lark tries to explain himself, assembling a story from the fragments he’s captured.

The End + The Instant is a serial novel-in-flash with photos. It updates every Friday at 12.00 (UK Time) at theendandtheinstant.com
