The Phone Booth

While strolling around Sydney, Karl noticed an abandoned phone booth with the receiver dangling by its cord. On top of the phone, he found a few words scribbled in an open notepad. Karl took a photograph of the phone booth, and Henry let his imagination do the rest. This short story is a scenario inspired by the photograph.

KSHM Project is the result of a joint collaborative effort between an award-winning Australian photographer, Karl Strand, and an American author, Henry Martin. Aiming to combine striking visual images with thought-provoking prose, the goal for this project is to create one-of-a-kind tales that delve deep into the human consciousness, while addressing some of the struggles our contemporary society faces. Our work ranges from short vignettes and captions to complete short stories.
