Be Anxious for Nothing — Chapter One (free)

The opening of a novel, free. Bernard is an angel with a list of thirteen people whose lives have quietly organised themselves around fear, and an instruction: visit each one, drain the anxiety out of them, and collect it in a jar. Bernard is doing his best. Bernard is not, on balance, very good at this.

This is the first visit — Margaret, a failing Etsy shop, and a knock at the door at exactly the wrong moment — plus the short "Before we begin" that explains the soil science. It is about 8,500 words, set in 13pt type with generous line spacing so it reads easily on a phone or printed at A5.
