Help Tell South Durham’s Stories

Southpoint Access should reflect the people who live here. I’d love to help you add your voice to it.

Dispatches Received in Error is a serialized fiction project for paid subscribers to Southpoint Access.

It unfolds through a growing archive of documents from an alternate-universe Southpoint: a warm coastal town where messages, notices, warnings, and other paperwork have begun arriving from beyond the ordinary world. As the series continues, those misdeliveries start to suggest a larger story about the town, the shoreline, and whatever old function Southpoint may be slipping back into.

Each weekly installment takes the form of a single document - a memo, weather advisory, complaint ledger, postcard, hearing transcript, customs notice, or other piece of the file - introduced by Horatio Guppman of the Breach Desk.
