What begins as a scientific mystery quickly becomes a survival nightmare.

Heart to blood, muscle to bone, tourist flesh above my own. It’s the bridgers’ directive: risk your own life to save tourists bridging to alternate worlds.

The Earth slipped—a shift barely more than a degree on paper, but enough to fracture fault lines, drown cities, and rip the jet stream into shreds. The skies burned with auroras.

The world changed over the past two years. It wasn’t the big bang, EMP, or comet strike so many had planned for. It was worse because it was so avoidable, like a major corporation going bankrupt out of bad decisions and neglect. When the funds dried up and all the political machinations failed, nothing remained but the people. Left to their own devices, what sprang up more resembled the Old West of the 1800s.

The news that humanity had been dreading for ages had come true. Zombies are real. Worst of all, we created them. The apocalypse was upon us, and every man, woman and child had to answer a simple question of themselves: "What do we do now?"

Normalcy ceased to exist in the United States the instant the Iranian EMP warheads detonated, relieving America of its abundant luxuries and conveniences. The event pushed the entire country backward in a millisecond. Backward in time to the mid-1800s—to a lifestyle that preceded the telephone and, for most, even the use of a simple lightbulb.

After being launched from their container ships in the Gulf of Mexico, the three specially calibrated nuclear warheads carried by Shahab-3 ICBM’s detonated in space at 10:58 AM, directly over Utah, Kansas and West Virginia. For a fraction of a millisecond, the late morning October sky brightened, the event over with so quickly it was basically imperceptible from the ground.
