The Medicine Gate

As increasing chaos, species extinction, and climate crisis ravages our planet at an accelerated pace, humankind faces a yet greater challenge when mysterious DNA mutations claim millions of lives. This prescient story follows Michael and Sara, a PTSD stricken soldier and his young niece, widowed and orphaned respectively during the mutations. Three years later, after all remaining survivors receive microchip implants to halt this fatal affliction, the world eagerly awaits the activation of the Lattice, an alternative energy network that will power the world and feed humanity by transmitting solar light through the microchips. When Alamance Industries, the corporation that designed the microchips, kidnaps Sara, an implant-free alliance known as the Gatekeepers enlist Michael to help them rescue her. After he finds out that Sara carries a set of genetic codes Alamance needs to activate the Lattice, Michael learns its true purpose is far more diabolical. He quickly joins the Gatekeepers desperate search for Sara upon learning the microchips blocked humanity’s natural function—to evolve Earth into the Multiverse—and that everyone who “died” during the mutations, including his wife and son, are stranded in a void between this universe and the Multiverse. If he fails to reconcile his trauma, master his multidimensional abilities, traverse the Medicine Gate, navigate the labyrinth of Earth’s traumatic memories, and teleport Sara to the one place on the planet where she can override the microchips before the Lattice activates, humankind will be rendered extinct.
