Collider

ColliderBy Michael S. Freeman

In 2008, something went wrong beneath the soil of Geneva.

When the Large Hadron Collider hits peak energy, four students-each haunted by their own fragmented minds and unusual abilities-witness the impossible: a reality glitch that no one else seems to notice. Time skips, memories fracture, and the world subtly, disturbingly... changes.

Dismissed as a technical malfunction, the event is quickly buried. But for Elias, Rhea, Seraphina, and Julian, it marks the beginning of something far darker-a descent into a conspiracy that unearths Project Chimera, a covert government operation tied to parallel universes, the Mandela Effect, and the horrifying truth that the world they live in is a copy of one that was destroyed.

Reality is unraveling, manipulated by an organization known only as The Custodians, who will do anything to silence them. And something ancient, something not entirely human, is stirring within the cracks of this false timeline.

Memory is no longer a refuge. Time is a lie.

And the only way to survive... is to expose the truth before it erases them.
