Just Push Through Autobiographical Fictional Short Stories By Kevin Koppers

By Kevin Koppers

Just Push Through
Some memories remain unchanged.
Others refuse to stay still.
Years after his military service, Kevin Koppers found himself returning to moments that never
truly ended. They replayed with different conversations, different choices, and different
outcomes-not because the events themselves had changed, but because trauma has a way of
returning to what remains unresolved.
Just Push Through is an autofiction collection inspired by true events and the lived experience
of PTSD. Rooted in the author's military service, these stories explore the way trauma reshapes
memory, revisiting moments that continue to demand answers long after they have passed.
This is not a memoir in the traditional sense. It is a collection of stories born from lived
experience-where factual events and the enduring effects of trauma meet. Some stories
remain close to history. Others follow the paths the mind continued to walk in search of
understanding.
Honest, reflective, and deeply personal, Just Push Through explores military service, friendship,
grief, resilience, and the lifelong work of making peace with memories that never completely let
go.
Because sometimes surviving the moment is only the beginning.
