Running Late

Printable Mini Zine · Digital Download

$2.99 International price · USD

Eight pages · Print, cut & fold · Screen-reading PDF included

A bus to catch. A job to avoid. A revelation with terrible timing.

He is late. The bus is leaving. His commitment has never looked stronger. Running Late follows one breathless chase through eight illustrated pages, from panic to the slightly embarrassing joy of discovering what drives you. The whole revelation stays on the run.

Your full signature line lands together on page seven: Never thought running late to the office was showing my hatred of the job and passion for what I do. For the commuter, coworker or friend whose best thoughts arrive at the worst possible time. Read it on your own screen, or turn one sheet into a pocket-sized book.

For the person whose best thoughts arrive while they should be somewhere else. Read on screen or print and fold a small book to keep.
