Trigger Point
Fifteen-year-old Alex Carter never fit in.
Diagnosed with autism, crushed by anxiety, and haunted by the quiet violence of bullying, his world is a battlefield of noise, fear, and isolation. Every hallway at school is a warzone. Every conversation feels like a trap. Even at home, he walks on eggshells - stuck between parents who don't understand him and a sister who refuses to give up on him.
That sister is Riley - wild, bold, fearless. And she brings Alex to a place that changes everything: the local paintball field.
What starts as a quiet corner on the sidelines becomes something more. A strategy. A rhythm. A voice he never thought he had. As Alex is pulled deeper into the sport, he finds himself facing new fears, new friends, and a tournament that could make him a name... or break him completely.
But this isn't just a story about paintball.
It's about finding focus in the chaos.
It's about surviving when the world tells you you don't belong.
It's about one boy - quiet, brilliant, overlooked - learning how to fight his way into the light.
Gritty, emotional, and raw, Trigger Point is a story for anyone who's ever felt out of place... and dared to fight anyway.
