Imagine discovering that our entire universe, every star, every black hole, every quiet ocean and every human memory isn't an infinite cosmos.
It's a thirty centimeter science project and it just got a C-minus.
When a prodigy student in a higher dimension accidentally shatters her experimental creation, only one tiny, resilient blue planet survives the catastrophic physics collapse. On Earth, scientists think the universe is expanding. In reality, a curious kid on the outside just bumped the box.
As humanity builds a machine to punch through the edge of reality, they don't find gods or demons waiting for them. They find a high school classroom, a terrified teenager trying to hide her broken project and a terrifying realization that ripples all the way up the chain:
Every creator is just someone else's kid. And nobody knows who is holding the box.
