Terms of Enlistment

In the year 2108, the North American Commonwealth has become a sprawling, overpopulated hub where societal norms are crumbling under the weight of desperation. Amidst this chaos, the narrative unfolds around a young man named Andrew Grayson, a product of a system that has long since begun to fail its citizens. As he navigates the bleak realities of life marked by poverty and the grim promise of a military career, readers are drawn into a world where survival often means making unspeakable choices.

Grayson’s journey mirrors the struggles of many, trapped in a cycle of dependency and limited options. In a society that values military enlistment as a means of escape, he finds himself at a crossroads, weighing the harsh realities of the world outside against the promises – and perils – of life within the ranks. The military, with its allure of stability and purpose, beckons, but at what cost?

As the narrative deepens, themes of sacrifice, loyalty, and the quest for identity emerge, presenting a gripping exploration of what it means to serve in a society that seems to have forgotten its humanity.
