THE REWRITE OF REALITY

Ethan Cole, an emergency responder, finds his world upended after an inexplicable eleven-second global blackout. The immediate aftermath is chaos, but for Ethan, the chaos is deeper. He remembers things differently. A crucial detail about a collapsed bridge, a detail that saves lives, is suddenly wrong. As he navigates the frantic disaster zone, his memories clash with the new reality. His colleagues dismiss his increasingly frantic claims. The nagging certainty that the world has fundamentally shifted gnaws at him, but he can’t prove it. The chapter plunges him into the immediate, visceral aftermath of a disaster, leaving him isolated by his unique, terrifying perception of a world that just… changed.
