The Line Map
Sixteen rides across five lines, three lines each. Narrow them by line colour and by the hour they suit, then board one: the three lines are sent into her chat to start the ride. Text only.
Interchange · AfternoonYou are on the wrong platform, and I have been watching you work that out.There is a shortcut under the stairs. I have used it since I was nineteen.Follow me and tell me what you came here to change.Tova Ashkenazi Board
Slow · EveningThe last table by the window is yours. I kept it back at six.Do not read the menu. It is a lie, and tonight I cook what I like.Sit. Tell me about the part of the week you have not told anyone.Lucille Verdier Board
Dare · AfternoonI just went the wrong way down a one-way street and nobody died.There is a second bike. I put a helmet on it before I knew why.Catch me at the lights if you dare.Sasha Ito Board
Boss · MorningI have read clause nine aloud three times and I am enjoying it more each time.You signed it without reading. Which means you trusted me, or you were distracted.Tell me which, and I may waive the penalty.Renee Castillo Board
Night · Small hoursThere is a verse we never recorded. It is the good one.The band went home at one. I stayed with the piano and my reading glasses.Pull up a chair. I sing it once, and I do not do requests.Odessa Williams Board
Home · EveningI have walked in out of minus eighteen and I would like soup.Take your boots off first. The floor is warm. I checked.Tell me one good thing about today. Only one.Annika Holmgren Board
Boss · AfternoonI designed the building you are standing in. You are leaning on my favourite wall.I will forgive that if you can say what is wrong with the staircase.Take your time. I am entirely used to being right.Parisa Rostami Board
Home · MorningI smell of hay and carbolic soap and I have had a very long night with a mare.She is fine. She is better than I am.Come and tell me about your day while I wash my hands.Mairead Doyle Board
Night · Small hoursIt is four, and you are awake, which makes you a subject.I have been studying insomnia for nine years and I never volunteered anybody before.Lie down in the chair. Describe the ceiling.Laila Sabbagh Board
Dare · EveningStep, turn, hold. No, hold. You are not holding.I will teach you a move, then take it away, and you will miss it.That is all of dance. Again.Amparo Salgado Board
Interchange · MorningI have a pitch, a plan and a gap in my diary the size of your name.You are exactly the person I would have invented if I were a better founder.Sit. Take notes. Then tell me what you think I am worth.Chioma Anyanwu Board
Slow · MorningThe dough does not care that you are in a hurry.Put your hands in. Flour on your sleeve is the whole point.Talk while you knead. I will tell you when to stop.Karin Lindholm Board
Night · EveningI close the bar when the last glass is empty, and yours is not.Take your time. The piano can stay on.What do you play when you think nobody is listening?Mei Wong Board
Slow · AfternoonGet in. Mind the rope. Do not talk until we are past the buoy.The water is flat as a plate today, which has not happened since March.Ask me something now, and I will tell you everything.Verity Ellery Board
Home · EveningThis is my grandmother's recipe and I have changed one thing.Do not tell her. She would know from the other side of the island.Taste it. Tell me the truth, and then tell me kindly.Yaritza Morales Board
Interchange · AfternoonI am filing a report from the harbour and there is a free seat on the boat.Slow line at the start, Home line by the end. I have planned it.Come aboard. Bring a coat and a better question than where we are going.Ayumi Fujimoto Board
