When Wounds Become War
by JJ
Dedication
To every kid who was taught fear instead of love—
and still didn’t become a monster.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
TO THE ONES who stayed human when it would’ve been easier not to:
Thank you.
To the ones who didn’t—thank you, too.
You gave us the clearest warning we’ll ever get.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
JJ IS A writer, observer, and cultural autopsist—digging deep into the systems, stories, and shadows that shape our world. He tells the truth, even when it hurts. Especially when it hurts. This isn’t history class. It’s the part you were never meant to see.
