Small Town Static

(Still posting but planning major rewrite)

At twenty-two, Paisley James is holding her family together by the seams-barely. Between her gas station night shifts, a sick father, and a younger sister who's slipping away, there's no room for dreams. Or herself.

Then Jude Bennett arrives in town with a camera and grief of his own. What begins as a documentary turns into something more intimate-an unflinching look at a life quietly unraveling.

As the winter deepens, so does their connection. But healing isn't simple, and love doesn't erase the past.

The Weight of Quiet Things is a story about care, exhaustion, and the slow return to hope.
