Fracture State

By Cory Paniagua

Every choice has a consequence. Leo just happens to see all of them.

Yesterday, Leo was just a teenager dreading the morning bus ride. Today, a catastrophic accident at the Hydron Collider has turned him into a biological anchor for a localized quantum fracture. A simple, everyday choice-turning a door handle, dropping a pencil, taking a left turn-now violently splinters his reality, forcing him to experience every possible future at the exact same time.

Now, Leo and his best friend Maya are on the run. Hunted through the streets by a heavily armed international containment unit ordered to eliminate him, and manipulated from within by a rogue scientist trapped in the multiversal static, Leo's time is running out. He has exactly forty-eight hours to navigate a blinding storm of alternate realities and reach the one place on earth ancient enough to ground the chaotic energy tearing his mind apart.

If he fails, his entire city falls into the void. If he succeeds, he has to give up the power of a god just to be normal again.

Fracture State is a high-stakes sci-fi thriller exploring the crushing weight of infinite possibilities, the bonds of loyalty, and the ultimate price of fixing a broken universe.
