The Year That Ate the Architect™

“When systems fail, they eat the builder.” Collapse as intimate grief.

The Year That Ate the Architect™ is a raw personal ledger of collapse. Parents lost in hospital purgatories, debt stamped in triplicate, homes that eat their owners alive, friendships collapsing into silence. Structured in jagged fragments, it charts grief, bureaucracy, and abandonment until only one tether remains—Chris, proof that home is not a house but a person. The piece doubles as both confession and worldbuilding ritual, declaring: if the world keeps breaking me, I will build one more anyway.
