Arthur Pound thought his life had gone unnoticed.
Twenty years of writing novels nobody reads.
Years of ordinary work.
A quiet life slipping by.
Then a woman called Eve arrives with impossible news.
Arthur's life is being audited.
Somewhere beyond reality, a system tracks the invisible labour of human lives. The effort that goes unrecognised. The persistence nobody applauds.
Arthur's ledger has triggered something unusual.
The universe wants to upgrade his life.
But fixing reality may mean erasing the very struggles that made him who he is.
Darkly funny, philosophical and quietly moving, JUST CHECKING IN is a story about unseen work, stubborn hope, and the value of an ordinary life.
