Breaking; Broken (The Bonds That Break Us)
4 parts Ongoing MatureIn a world where the Dominant-born rule and slavery fuels society, a young man slips his cage in the dark of night.
Trained. Broken. Locked away like a showpiece. Killua learned long ago that he was nothing but property.
All he wants now is a breath of fresh air-a little peek at the world-before his owners notice him and yank his leash tight.
But for a slave, wanting isn't easy.

Our setting? A sprawling, Africa-inspired continent, filled with magic, culture, and deep systemic corruption.
Our themes? Oppression. Agency (or lack thereof). Coming of age, and identity.
Our characters? A starry-eyed boy from a liberated country, here with big dreams to change the world. A runaway slave, desperately escaping a life he couldn't choose, jumping out of the frying pan and into something far, far worse.
This story is dark. It's brutal. It will delve deep into character psychology as our narrators gradually sink in way over their heads.
If you (yes, YOU) read and like this story, I would love to hear YOUR suggestions of moments you want to see!
