After a school shooting shakes Sandglass, best friends Tilly and Camas choose action over grief—launching a bold movement to transform weapons into something that carries people forward.

Bullet Poof is a sharp, hopeful eco-fiction novella about what happens when ordinary people refuse to accept the gun status quo.

In the quiet Inland Northwest town of Sandglass, a devastating school shooting forces a reckoning. Instead of settling into the familiar cycle of mourning and paralysis, Tilly and Camas gather their community and begin something unexpected: the Melt Zone, a grassroots effort to turn firearms into bicycle frames.

The town rallies. The Bike Guys bring energy. Moore and Spit dig for answers. Vovo steadies the room. Pedro the Water Dog stays close. What starts as a local act of transformation quickly becomes something larger.

Because Sandglass is not as isolated as it seems.

As the movement grows, so does the pressure. Tilly follows a trail that leads beyond the town, uncovering a long-running system of influence, profit, and narrative control—one that reaches back decades and centers on a program known as Operation BB Gun.

Back home, Camas holds the community together as tensions rise and the future of the Melt Zone hangs in the balance.

Set among forge fires, gravel roads, wildflowers, toddlers, and loyal dogs, Bullet Poof is a story of friendship, resistance, and the quiet, radical act of making something beautiful from what was built to harm.
