The President’s Address

Chapter: The President's Address

Adam descended the stairs into the dining room, the faint glow of the television casting flickering shadows across the space.

The hum of news anchors speaking in urgent tones filled the air.

His father, Ricky, was seated on the couch, his posture tense, his eyes glued to the screen with an uncharacteristic seriousness. Nearby, Adam's mother, Rachel, stood with her arms crossed, her face set in a grim expression.

The moment Rachel noticed Adam entering the room, her gaze shifted to him. "Adam, come here," she said, her voice firm yet tinged with urgency. "You need to see this."

Adam frowned slightly, curiosity and concern sparking in his chest. He crossed the room and turned toward the television, where the screen displayed a live broadcast.

His eyes widened as he recognized the speaker—it was the President of the country, standing behind a grand podium.
