Why You Wouldn’t Survive the D-Day Landing

You are not a war hero. Not today. You're cold, soaked, and seasick — crammed inside a steel box with nothing but a jammed rifle, raw nerves, and a prayer you barely believe in. On June 6th, 1944, you hit Omaha Beach with thousands of others, and every inch forward is a crawl through chaos, smoke, and sand filled with the dead.

This is not the D-Day of history books. This is the crawl. The wait. The failure of plans and the random cruelty of bullets. In this immersive sleep story, you become one of the many — anonymous, exhausted, and forgotten — surviving by inches and inertia alone.
