Planar Wars: Apertures (Book 1)

A disastrous top-secret military experiment. An amateurish foray into the boundaries of cutting-edge physics and dimensional rifts. Now, worlds and dimensions are merging. Our reality is being confronted by ancient legends and painfully bitten by our mythological fantasies. Series PrologueDiary EntryDecember 2019Hello. I am Eric Weber. I am twenty-six years old.I am with my girlfriend, Jen Stuart. It’s now December 2019. I have no idea about the date. Running for your life makes you forget those things. Not that digital watches and cell phones are of any help in our situation. The assault on the town’s defensive grid also brought with it that bizarre energy field which rendered modern gadgets useless. The weather outside is freezing, so we’re holed up here in this abandoned hunting cabin and I decided to make the most of our time by writing these notes. Or do we call them memoirs? A diary? I really don’t know.We intend to reach another reported safe area across the border in Saskatchewan, Canada. Other safe zones were mentioned in the last report we heard but they’re all too far away for us. Hopefully, we’ll make it to an existing safe zone. The list of sites, though, is shrinking day by day. But the report we have is now a week old, dated from the day before the Great Falls Defense Area fell. That’s in Montana, by the way. We’re lucky we got away. I really don’t know if it’s still valid—but what other option did we have?I am human, by the way (in case some other entity gets hold of this record). We were the dominant species on this planet until what we call the Event happened. Now, we don’t know who’s the top dog on this planet we call Earth. Hell, we don’t even know what we’re sharing the place with.(A story of approximately 31,000 words)

I grew up with the stories. Especially those from the era of dime novels and genre magazines, the time when both fields were deemed fringe areas of fiction. Stories that spark the imagination and bring a reader to worlds and concepts beyond his reality. I write fiction anchored on a familiar fact - be it mythology, historical events, existing mythos, or even a physical feature. Something that one knows exists in the real world. It makes immersion in the grand adventure easier and more enjoyable.  I started writing as a hobby and was fortunate that other people found them engaging and enjoyable. To my readers, thanks! There are innumerable worlds out there. Explore, let your imagination fly. Unlike the protagonists in the stories, there is no dark Elder god, a tentacled monstrosity, a stabby assassin, a vampire or ten, or a vengeful deity waiting outside your door. Nor will opening a book suck you into a separate dimension. Maybe. Enjoy the voyage. Have fun.
