Broken Broke Free

Some people are invisible. Orlias learned early that being unseen hurts. But being seen? That costs more. Thrown into a world that decides who he is before he speaks, Orlias finds refuge in one place where nothing can lie…  The track. There, effort has meaning. Pain has structure. And for the first time, he is more than what they call him. But talent brings attention. Attention brings expectation. And expectation? That’s where everything starts to break. As rivalries form, bonds deepen, and pressure builds from every direction  school, family, and self  Orlias must decide: Is he running toward something… or just running away?
