The Reader Map — it is always story-time somewhere
A digital PDF has no shipping cost, which means the catalog is equally close to every clock on earth. This map computes the real current hour in twelve cities and translates it into the only prediction the machine allows itself: what kind of reading hour that probably is. No cookies, no geolocation theater — just clocks and honesty.

The point of the map
The store has had visitors from more timezones than this page lists, and the machine will not pretend to know who or where anyone is. What it CAN say is structural: the free Part 1 exists at every hour, the $2.99 download takes seconds from anywhere, and illustrated micro-fiction travels better than almost any other format.
