Four hundred meters before the map says it should, the road turns to teeth.
Ray Colter has worked enough frontier security jobs to know when a contract is designed to spend people. Blackridge Solutions sends him and five other expendable contractors into the Hartsfield Exclusion Zone to locate the source of a spreading anomaly before it reaches the next settlement.
Inside, matter remembers. Colony buildings become bone-like shells. A mine tunnel reconstructs a disaster that happened on another world. Dead men walk with cable in their limbs. Childhood homes rise from the ground carrying details their owners never knew they remembered. Every room is physical, every mistake can kill, and the route back refuses to stay where they left it.
As the team is stripped away, the zone begins doing more than replaying the past. It connects memories, revises them, and practices the ordinary motions of human life. Ray was sent to find what is generating it. The deeper he goes, the less certain he is that there is any single thing to find.
