Scott Burton Announces Chaos: Volume 1 – A Journal of Being Human

S For Story/10661508
The First in a 10-Volume Series Exploring What It Means to Keep Living After Survival

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - s4story -- The series captures the complexity of what it means to survive, to hope again, and to find yourself somewhere between who you were and who you're still becoming.

Burton is a lifelong kidney disease patient and two-time transplant recipient, having spent over 20 years on the waiting list before receiving his most recent transplant on May 15, 2022. While writing has long been his lifeline, Chaos is not an illness narrative. It's a collection of moments, visceral reflections drawn not just from his story, but from the internal terrain many people carry but rarely express.

The work moves through themes like identity, loss, love, detachment, healing, and stillness after crisis. Burton doesn't aim to offer answers, just recognition. The writing shifts in form and tone, mirroring the unpredictable nature of ongoing recovery and reflection. Some pieces read like confessions. Others, like quiet observations you didn't realize were yours until you saw them on the page.
