008 - Chapter 8

After surviving the brink of death eight months post-battle injury, a soldier awakens to a world forever changed. As his memories begin to surface, a haunting face emerges—his wife, who married him out of pity just before he was deployed. In a poignant twist of fate, he discovers that she has since remarried, believing him lost to war. Determined to forge a new identity, he adopts a new name and embarks on a journey to reshape his life. The struggle between his past and his quest for a fresh start unfolds in heart-wrenching detail throughout Where the Path Breaks. This tale is brought to life by Captain Charles de Créspigny, a pseudonym for the talented Charles Norris (C.N.) Williamson. (Introduction by Roger Melin)
