A Suburban Mystery Wrapped in Sequins, Secrets, and HOA Drama
Welcome to Oakbend — a perfectly average town with perfectly trimmed lawns, suspiciously organized bake sales, and a mayor who may or may not have buried a sequined pink kimono in the park at midnight.
That’s not a metaphor. That’s the plot.
KIMONOGATE is a seven-part serialized short story about the weird things we hide, the nosy neighbors who find them, and the emotional unraveling of a man who just wanted to enjoy show tunes in silk.
Featuring:
- A dog named Capote with three legs and a deep sense of vengeance
- A retired schoolteacher with a bestselling secret identity
- Glitter, betrayal, time capsules, and at least one minor incident involving a cursed lawn ornament
What starts as a petty mystery turns into something stranger — and strangely heartfelt.
If you like your stories with a little surrealism, a lot of awkwardness, and a very specific kind of emotional chaos, you’re going to feel right at home.
Go ahead. Open the blinds.
It’s time to find out what your neighbor buried in their yard.
