Everything You Leave Behind

Weston Hayes Walker

A surreal exploration of regret, second chances, and the power of choice

Crushed by a dead-end career and haunted by regret, Vincent Palmer sees only one way out. But instead of ending it all, he receives an impossible gift: the chance to revisit the most pivotal moments of his past. Vincent is suddenly pushed into alternate versions of his own life, with each new reality representing a different path he could have taken.

As he moves through these snapshots of what could have been, Vincent begins to understand the power he holds to choose the direction of his life—and learns to appreciate the beauty of what he does have. With newfound clarity, Vincent faces the ultimate question: Is it too late to rewrite his future, or can he seize this rare second chance to create a life worth living?

In what begins as a desperate attempt to escape and evolves into a poignant search for meaning, Everything You Leave Behind presents an exploration of mental health, self-fulfillment, and the quiet power of the choices we make.

Born in Tucson, Arizona, Weston currently lives in Washington, DC, with his wife, Alex, and their dog, Stella. When not writing, he enjoys composing original instrumental music, traveling internationally, and finding occasions to enjoy a nice cigar and port wine. Everything You Leave Behind is his debut novel.
