Leo is the fastest boy in the valley—always running, always chasing the wind. But the faster he moves, the more a strange storm follows him home: dizziness, exhaustion, and a fog that won’t lift.

When he meets a wise old gardener who teaches him the art of slowing down, Leo begins to learn that balance—not speed—is the real path to freedom.

This story is a gentle metaphor for exercise intolerance and post-exertional symptoms in POTS and chronic illness. It’s for anyone who has ever felt like their body betrayed them when they tried to do just a little more.

– A whimsical look at post-exertional crashes and pacing
– A gentle reminder that rest is not failure — it’s wisdom
– A magical tale to help explain the “invisible storm” of chronic fatigue
