What doesn't burn becomes something else entirely.
Not weaker. Not broken. Transformed.
The fire doesn't get to decide what remains. You do.

I didnt plan to write a book. I just followed a question:
What were these things meant to replace?
That question became a story about silence, survival, and an unlit cigarette that outlasted a war.
What question has followed you for years?

It stayed in a soldier’s pocket from Omaha Beach to the end of the war.
A lucky piece.
A promise not to burn.

Winston said it best: purpose isn’t dependent on combustion. Restraint completes the arc.
