Breach

A road appears where none was built. A transmission arrives before it was sent. A soldier remembers a battle his unit never fought. A Pallish resonance specialist is assigned to decide whether the failures are sabotage, contamination, or something the war has not yet named. The evidence points to two classified incidents. One composite who forced the Pull in the wrong direction. One dead woman who never died. The shimmer is no longer behaving like a boundary, and whatever humanity has been reaching into may have begun reaching back.
