You've got a small typo in the third paragraph: she looked at across at. I loved how you use color here. Is this part of something larger?

Yes. Its a dirty first draft in the spirit of nano wrimo where I'm doing different
... tactics to get a novel length thing produced. The reason most characters are not named is because im not sure how these different events in the (same world) will overlay with each other (also in terms of sequence)

The reason it is called Mosaic is because I also have no idea what order these events happen in. Just using a single word prompt to inspire the writing session ans off I go to the word smithery.

Most of these have been typed on my phone or while in a line waiting :p

On your phone? I am in awe. I can hardly get myself to comment on the phone, let alone write-wtite. very impressive, sir. This sounds honestly quite intriguing. And will it remaing a mosaic, do you think, or is it only a mosaic while in the workshop? Be interesting, to read a mosaic book, as you define it.

I think it will be a mosaic in completeness. Some of the people depicted are clearly the same character, but the idea is to bring together all the fragments.

Even though I write this stuff on the train - I feel guilty, as though the other passengers are looking over my shoulder, greedily eyeballing the draft, without the realisation that I'm going to publish it here anyway.

I know what you mean! I have the same feeling writing in public, with others too close to me, though a part of me keeps thinking "but why would they care". nonsensical writer's brain.

Conversations all melting into one! Just like what little is left of my brain
