When the World Breaks traces the quiet, human truth beneath history's most terrifying moments. From a boy on Lindisfarne watching a dragon-headed ship rise from the fog, to a girl in wartime London hearing bombs shake the earth above her, two children separated by a thousand years reveal the same ancient experience: the moment meaning collapses. Through vivid storytelling and reflective prose, L. J. Morten explores fear, fragility, and the resilience carried through the human line. A haunting, contemplative essay on how worlds break - and how people endure.
