The Fall Risk: What We Lose When We Try to Hold On
“The Fall Risk” by Abby Jimenez is a poignant, sharply written short story that blends heartfelt emotion with Abby’s signature blend of wit and romantic tension. The story centers around two characters, both reeling from recent personal and emotional challenges, who find themselves unexpectedly thrown together by a literal fall—an accident that sets off a chain of events neither of them could have predicted. As they navigate this brief but significant connection, the narrative explores vulnerability in both physical and emotional forms. “Fall risk” isn’t just a hospital term—it becomes a metaphor for what happens when you allow yourself to take chances again, especially after heartbreak or loss. The chemistry between the leads is palpable, and the narration by Julia Whelan and Connor Crais adds an extra layer of depth and personality, making the characters feel fully alive in the short time we spend with them. Though compact in length, the story delivers a full emotional arc, leaving listeners with the warm, lingering ache of something unexpectedly meaningful.
