Daydreamings (2020)

Critically-acclaimed writer and performer, Neptune Henriksen, delivers their debut work of prose, following years writing and performing several award-nominated theatre and comedy shows.

Daydreamings is a collection of flash fiction, in which Henriksen dips into the stories of diverse friends, family, and lovers, through thirty-two pieces.

A remorseful ex attending a wedding, a friend helping another be brave and honest, a disconnected father trying to finally find common ground, the excitement of a new romance, and so many more.

It's a frank look of the mortifying ordeal of being known, and how, more often than not, it is truly worth it.
