Unheld: Short Story Collection

By MD Antoine PhD(c)

Unheld is a collection of short stories about people who come to understand, often too late, what they have been living without.

The stories follow women and men in relationships shaped by habit, accommodation, and quiet compromise. A marriage sustained by routine. A love that exists only in fragments. A life built around what feels reasonable rather than what feels true. In each case, a small moment exposes a larger absence and forces a reckoning that cannot be undone.

These are not stories of dramatic endings or sudden revelations. They unfold through interior shifts, restrained confrontations, and the slow recognition that something essential has been left unspoken, untouched, or unclaimed.

Unheld examines how people learn to stop carrying what was never meant to be borne alone, and what it costs to finally choose themselves.
