Martin Sullivan woke up and could not find the edge of his body.
Something happened at Teorainn. He went through a door that should have stayed closed. Now the world is transparent. He sees too much. The machinery underneath every gesture. The history inside every object. The loneliness radiating off strangers like heat.
The doctors say he came back. But back to what?
In a white facility full of people afraid of what he represents, one woman understands. Fiona Brennan crossed through twenty-three years ago. She survived. Mostly. She says the seeing never stops. But it changes. You learn to carry it.
Martin doesn't want to carry it. He wants to outrun it.
He finds a rust-freckled bicycle. He starts riding. And in the space between pedal strokes, in the moments when the body moves faster than the mind can analyze, something opens. A gap in the drowning. A way to breathe.
A continuation of "Concrete Sky." A story about what comes after the world breaks open.

About the author
Mike Finn, PhD
I am a clinical psychologist with deep interest in phenomenology and existential psychology. I am a psychotherapist by day and a writer by night. Sci-fi but phenomenology (study of experience) as the "sci" part has been a fascinating area to work in and has allowed for free exploration and processing of ideas or experiences I have experience or encountered.View all audiobooks by Mike Finn, PhD
