Side-Walks is a digital short story about finding yourself after a year of isolation. Alternating perspectives and capitals between Dublin and DC, two characters search for their place on the ever-changing map. Walking along the Liffey, Connor floats through life with no sense of where he’s going. Running from his life next to the Potomac, Jermal tries to outrun a kiss that wasn’t supposed to happen.
