In the dystopian world of "Fracture Me," we experience the apocalyptic landscape through Adam Kent's eyes-a soldier torn between love and duty. The novella opens with his little brother James waking him with urgent news: Warner, their most dangerous enemy and son of the supreme commander, has escaped. This crisis is momentarily overshadowed when James breaks down crying, revealing his deepest fear-that Adam might die in the upcoming battle. The raw emotion in his ten-year-old eyes cuts straight to Adam's heart, especially when James declares he wants to fight alongside him. This moment crystallizes everything Adam fights for. In a world where family units have been systematically destroyed by The Reestablishment, their bond represents something increasingly rare. Adam has raised James since he was a toddler, becoming both brother and father figure. "It's you first," he tells James, kneeling to meet his eyes. "It's always you first and everyone else second." These aren't empty words-they're his foundation. While others fight for grand ideals like freedom and justice, Adam's motivation is more intimate: creating a world where James can grow up without fear. What would you fight for if the world collapsed tomorrow? For many of us, it's not abstract principles but the faces of those we love that would drive us forward through impossible circumstances.
