Empty Hands: A Conversation About What We Carry
All he wanted was five quiet minutes.
Instead, he found a stranger sitting a few feet away, staring across the yard as though they had been sharing the night for hours.
The stranger offered no name. No explanation. Only questions-about the man he used to be, the people he loved, and the weight he had carried for so long that he could no longer tell where it ended and he began.
Night after night, their impossible conversations strip away the stories he has told himself about betrayal, anxiety, usefulness, and love. What once looked like strength begins to resemble distance. What felt like protection has quietly become a smaller way of living. And beneath it all waits a question more difficult than anything the stranger has asked:
What if surviving is no longer enough?
Blunt, darkly funny, and deeply human, Empty Hands is an intimate work of literary fiction about trauma, anxiety, accountability, and the love we can overlook while searching for proof that it is there.
Some conversations should be impossible.
Somehow, they become the most honest ones of his life.
