Quinn never expected to leave the hospital alive. Six months of straps, meds, and mirrors fractured them into pieces: fire, shadow, silence, masks, and the fragile spiral of creation.
When the ward finally opens its doors, Quinn returns to the yard where everything collapsed. The grass hasn't changed. The air still carries the weight of that night. But for the first time, Quinn feels their feet on the ground, their breath in their chest, and the possibility of beginning again.
The Weight of Standing is a novel about survival without triumph, about fragments stitched into a self that is fragile but real. It asks what it means to inhabit your own body after you've nearly left it behind-and how even in the place where collapse began, you can choose to begin again.
