About?

Author Salene Hill presents the captivating first chapter of her short story "Chivalry is the Knight" from the novel Beneath the Gray Matter. The scene opens in the fluorescent-lit aisles of a grocery store, where an awkward yet high-spirited conversation sparks between two odd but charming strangers, Bill and Octavia. Octavia, on a mission for baked chips and clean eating, crosses paths with Bill, who’s simply trying to gather ingredients for his weekly dinners. Their unexpected exchange hints at a deeper yearning—for connection, for change, for something beyond the ordinary.
