DON’T PANIC Chapbook

DON’T PANIC: A Braided Narrative of Crisis and Connection

A raw and intimate exploration of crisis, isolation, and connection, DON’T PANIC weaves together fragmented moments of a narrator grappling with an unexpected pregnancy test result. Through a braided narrative structure, the chapbook shifts between dissociation, memory, and an emotionally distant yet deeply felt conversation with Teddy—her only tether in an overwhelming moment. With sharp, introspective prose and a darkly contemplative tone, DON’T PANIC examines the intersections of loneliness, past trauma, and the fragile nature of support when physical distance renders comfort nearly impossible.
