"The Waiting Room" is a captivating and meditative novel about time, memory, grief, and the places we turn to when life gets hard.
Maya wakes up in a strange, timeless room, with no memory of how she arrived. The room is quiet, sterile, and surreal, containing only a frozen clock, a door without a handle, and a magazine that shifts whenever she looks at it. Outside the door, time seems to move violently... but inside, all is still.
As mysterious visitors arrive—each reflecting different versions of Maya's past, present, and possible future—she begins to uncover the truth: She came here by choice. She asked to stop time. To wait. To hide from the pain of a moment she wasn't prepared to face.
With each chapter, Maya delves deeper into herself, confronting fragmented memories, shifting identities, and the quiet ache of unresolved grief. In the end, she must make a choice: remain in the safety of the waiting room... or step into everything she once feared.
"The Waiting Room" is a poetic, emotionally rich exploration of what it means to let go, remember, and move on—one heartbeat at a time.
