The Ceiling Is Collapsing
Max Perryman
"The Ceiling Is Collapsing" is a personal, eerie short story about a family, a house, and the way grief quietly soaks into the walls. It follows a kid trying to decode a "perfect" home that never really felt right, and a father whose slow fading leaves more than just quiet behind. It’s about memory, rot, and the heavy, splintering weight of everything left unsaid, especially when the ceiling starts to cave in, literally and not.
