In this futuristic military sci-fi novella, during a tense deployment in Mongolia, an Army Ranger known as Cowboy senses that something is deeply wrong long before the mission collapses. Cut off from support and surrounded by hostile forces, his unit takes shelter in a place that should not exist and does not behave like the world they know. As reality bends and familiar rules fail, Cowboy is forced to confront what remains when identity, duty, and survival no longer align. K.I.A. is a short story that blends military sci-fi with the supernatural, pulling readers into a story where death may not be the end, and self-awareness may be the real battlefield.
