Middle Hours

By Kwamboka Sagwe

When architect David receives an unpaid storage bill for his deceased father's belongings, he ignores it-a small failure that becomes the first crack in his family's foundation. Over one devastating year, the Powell family collapses not from dramatic betrayal or tragedy, but from the relentless accumulation of ordinary pressures: financial stress, professional disappointment, parental exhaustion, and the thousand small surrenders that erode love into obligation. As their parents drown in separate corners of the same house, seventeen-year-old Ella, eleven-year-old Leo, and six-year-old Mia become unwilling witnesses to a marriage's slow-motion dissolution-and must navigate their own survival in the aftermath.
