The Inheritance of Empty Spaces
By M.T. Stachera

What do we inherit when nothing is left behind—except silence?

In the aftermath of a father's sudden death, three estranged siblings return to their childhood home to settle an estate built not on wealth, but on absences. The house is still, untouched, and echoing with memory—yet beneath its quiet lies a long-buried web of secrets, regrets, and fragile truths that refuse to stay hidden.

As they clean out the remnants of a life half-lived, each sibling is forced to confront their own version of the past:

  • Clara, the eldest, is a clinical therapist whose need for control masks a deep fear of unraveling.
  • Julian, a drifting musician with a gift for escape, returns home with a suitcase and a silence thicker than the dust coating the family piano.
  • Mira, the youngest and most detached, arrives with little emotion and even less desire to connect—but the weight of memory won't let her go so easily.
  • Together, they uncover old letters, strange recordings, and unspoken wounds that suggest their father's life was more complicated—and more haunted—than they ever understood.

    Blending introspective literary fiction with quiet psychological suspense, The Inheritance of Empty Spaces explores grief, memory, family estrangement, and the emotional architecture of home. With haunting lyricism and sharp emotional insight, M.T. Stachera weaves a portrait of three lives shaped as much by what was never said as by what was.
