The American Martyr

The American Martyr Final Cover w awards 5.jpg

In today's world children aren't expected to focus on politics. They are instead encouraged to enjoy their childhood, kids should just be kids. But there are real consequences to politics, the politicians, who are just background noise for most children, can become their Judge, Jury and Executioner.

Brian Brample and his friends were finishing off their high school careers caring more about their weekend paintball games than the world that surrounded them. But an overseas war that United States allies are losing causes the government to bring back the draft in attempt to get the situation under control. Brian and some of his friends become the unlucky few who are conscripted to serve in a war that has a near 100% mortality rate.

In protest, they decide to control their own fate by engaging in a mass suicide. The message is clear, the youth of the nation are willing to die for their causes, not Washington’s.

But, Brian Brample survives and those in Washington D.C. believe they have just found their scapegoat.

The Many Faces of Brian Brample

Brian Brample is a complicated young man is forced to put his beliefs and morals on the line against society and his government.

King Death represents the worst moment of a young man's life and the moniker put upon him from a society who refused to understand his plight.

Adolph of Nazareth is a natural attempt to give the middle finger to those who shunned him.  A desire to take everything the world hates and loves forcing them to intertwine through true logic.

The King of Us is another moniker forced upon the boy but from a perspective of acceptance and thanks.

Jehon represents the light within us all, the care for others, the sense of charity, the angel on one shoulder.

Luke represents the evil within us all, the selfishness, the greed, the devil on the other shoulder.

But in the end they all are a part of the American Martyr.

The Exploitation of Brian Brample

Mommy, when I grow up, I want to be an astronaut.

You can’t be anything you want

You will die at sixteen

 

Teacher, what was the Revolutionary War about?

Independence from a King for oppression under elected tyrants

 

Dad – As long as you’re under my roof

Boss – I don’t pay you to think

Government – Of the people by the people and for the people

But they own your soul

 

-Adolf Of Nazareth
