Synopsis

Conversations on Existence by Jessica Sanchez and Sam Holden

On a quiet patio overlooking the Belizean sea, as the ice melts in their whiskey glasses and the night settles in around them, Jessica and Sam talk.

Not about the missions. Not about the bodies left behind. But about being.

In this candid and contemplative collection, Jessica Sanchez—a former experiment turned investigator—and Sam Holden, her steadfast anchor, explore the writings of Camus, Kierkegaard, Beauvoir, and Nietzsche. They question the nature of identity, the burden of memory, and what it means to live authentically when your past was written by someone else.

Through reflections on books, films, and the philosophical weight of Jessica’s transformation, these dialogues peel back the noir to find something raw and human beneath.

The Weight of Being is not a manifesto. It’s a conversation—one that lingers like smoke in the dark.

Note from author

These dialogues helped me work out the growth and development of Jessica Sanchez. It is not a story, but just a dialogue between two characters that care for each other. Be warned, There may be some minor spoilers here if you haven't made it to Volume 6.
