Richard Wilson

A deep, meticulous exploration of attention and impermanence, framed entirely within the shifting visual field of a solitary walker during the stillness of the 4:00 AM hour. This is not a story of events, but a precise chronicle of perception. Operating under the strict filter of the Method Essayist, the narrator observes the world through its most fragile elements: the rhythmic failure of a high-pressure sodium lamp, the cold texture of water on wet wool, the subtle compression of shadows when light shivers, and the necessary geometries of cracked concrete. The prose is formal, deliberate, and unhurried. Through microscopic detail the dampness of a coat lapel, the sound of a distant bus engine, the memory of an irrelevant conversation the work achieves a powerful, emotionally grounded realism. It is an exercise in seeing without judging, thinking without summarizing, and allowing meaning to arise solely from the observation of external, momentary facts.
