A Witness to the Bloom

By E.K. Mercer

Oche Adeyemi has spent her career measuring breath, charting decline, and trusting the numbers that define life and death at Lagos University Teaching Hospital. But when the Bloom spreads across the city, children begin dying in sealed rooms while others-like her daughter, Amara-thrive in the silver haze.

At first, Oche calls it anomaly. Then she calls it survival. Soon, the evidence in her ward, her home, and her own daughter's breath points to something larger: the air is changing, and the children who can live in it are changing with it.

As Director Okoro prepares to hunt for "aberrant" children and the old world tightens its grip, Oche must decide what kind of scientist, mother, and witness she can still be. Because if she is wrong, she loses her daughter. If she is right, humanity itself may be about to cross into a new season.
