Those precise, high-tension seconds of silence right before chaos breaks loose on the track. '5 Seconds' is a raw, autobiographical Slice of Life LGBTQ+ comic about the sweat, fractures, and triumphs of finding your place in the European roller derby scene. A queer sports story about community, resilience, and roller skates.

I feel at home in the storm of chaos, whether on the roller derby track or in the pit of an underground punk show. I’m drawn to stories about outsiders, belonging, and communities built on self-determined rules. The kind of tales that turn bruises into stories worth sharing.
