Publisher's Synopsis
How much can a man endure before breaking?
At 36, the protagonist of this story has stopped fighting against the crushing weight of his responsibilities. With five children from three different women, a night shift at a gas station, and the burden of caring for his widowed mother and sick grandfather, his life has lost all meaning. Trapped between obligations that never seem to end, he watches as life passes him by, while his dreams fade away.
But when his grandfather dies, the little control he had over his existence begins to crumble. Amid the silence of a lonely funeral and the bills that keep piling up, his emotional disconnection deepens. In a world where the small tragedies of daily life slowly accumulate, how do you keep going when there's nothing left to fight for?
A story of resignation and isolation, this narrative explores the quiet despair that lives on the margins of life, where obligations crush the spirit and emptiness becomes the only companion.
A tale about what we lose when we stop feeling.
