chapter One: The Weight of What Could Be.

Maria has always been haunted by thoughts of the future, a place where failure and death loom like inevitable storms on the horizon. Her fear is so consuming that it starts to unravel everything she holds dear-her relationships, her family, and her sense of self. Terrified of what's to come, Maria's self-doubt and anxiety become her greatest enemies, turning her into someone she barely recognizes. As she pushes away those she loves, she finds herself on a path toward destruction, unsure if she can ever escape the shadows of tomorrow or if they are all that awaits her.
