Hello everyone,

To kick things off in the new year, I have finally added the short story When I was your man to the website. What started as small notes on my phone turned into this short story.

In eight short chapters, we follow the protagonist as the relationship slowly starts to crack. The text moves through uneasy thoughts and emotions, with insecurity always taking center stage and blame shifting back and forth. In the end, it shows how things can change without warning, and how some relationships just don’t last—no matter the promises made or rules agreed on. Love, after all, can’t really be controlled.

I hope you enjoy it.

Lots of love,
Martijn
