Through the Static - Short Stories

Every life has a soundtrack. Mine just happens to play through a busted boombox with bad reception, a loose antenna, and no pause button.

Through the Static is a mixtape memoir from Duke “I Got This” Adametz—a collection of absurd misadventures, hard-earned truths, and the moments that refuse to fade. Told through fictional radio broadcasts and chaotic frequencies, these stories rewind a life lived loud: through cancer treatments, Navy call signs, haunted hotel rooms, Goldschläger-fueled weddings, and one unforgettable TED Talk–level breakdown of how poop is made.

Spinning the dial, searching for that one station—hoping it comes in clear through all the static. 

Some stories will make you laugh. Others will hit a little closer to the chest. All of them come through the static—crackling, imperfect, and real.

So pull up a lawn chair, adjust the antenna, and see what signal you can catch.
