HE. A STORM BENEATH - Ashish Goskula

A man who looks fine to everyone around him is secretly falling apart inside. When a panic attack tears down the mask he's worn for years, he faces an impossible choice: build new walls to hide behind, or finally learn to be honest about the storm he's been carrying alone his whole life.

There's someone in his life who sees through the cracks-someone who loves him and keeps asking him to let her in. But he doesn't know how. He's built these walls so high, been holding everything underwater for so long, that he's forgotten what it feels like to just... breathe.

He has to choose between surviving and living. Between hiding and being seen. Between the boy who learned to drown in silence and the man who learns, finally, to swim.
