Heaviness Leaves The Body

Heaviness Leaves The body is the self-published debut of Portland author Michael Kurt. Collecting three early short stories, this chapbook blends weird fiction, existentialism, and contemporary literature styles to examine our relationships to a house and a body.

"Heaviness Comes With The Night" is the first and longest of the stories. When Casper leaves for college, the nameless narrator spirals through time and memory, trying to find a way back to young love.

In "LEAVES," an experimental A.I. turns on its creators. Raking leaves, forever raking leaves.

"Homebodies" is a house full of people refusing to expand. What if the floor gives out?
