The Jammed Scale That Won’t Balance

A Spiralverse™ Tale by Heileny Suárez

Format: Illustrated Poetic Book | Language: English | Age: 12+ (Young Adult to Adult)

A poetic illustrated story where “justice” becomes paperwork, balance becomes a performance, and a jammed system teaches you how to speak with structure.

The Weight Behind the Promise

What if justice wasn’t a destination…
but a hallway?

What if the “balance” we’re told to trust
wasn’t broken loudly,
just quietly stuck?

The Jammed Scale That Won’t Balance follows a narrator who walks into a system looking for fairness, and finds a monster made of folders, receipts, stamps, and delays.

At first it’s almost polite.
Then it starts singing: “only a little.”
Bills flutter like confetti.
Months get swallowed.
The scale never settles.

Until the narrator discovers a turning point:
the system feeds on confusion,
but shrinks when you bring record, clarity, and a structured voice.

This is not a story about revenge.
It is a story about regaining ground.
