Ledger of the Four Realms

One man, four realms, and the analytical mind that must outsmart a cosmic architect

Science Fiction
Thriller
Adventure

Michael Harlan is a man of spreadsheets and order. As a New York City CPA, balance, logic, and the safety of the status quo define his life. But when he trips into a literal crack in the sidewalk, Michael doesn't hit concrete—he falls into the gears of the universe. Conveyor belts in a subterranean network propelled Michael into a series of fractured realities. Alien overlords crawl through New York; the lawless mud of the 1849 Gold Rush engulfs the scene; an AI-dominated future chills the air; and brutal arenas await in ancient Rome. The rules of reality constantly rewrite themselves through these fractured realities. To survive, Michael must stop being a spectator in his own life. He has no weapons and no superpowers—only his analytical mind and a desperate need to find his way home. But as he navigates these lethal simulations, he realizes he is being watched. A shadowy figure known as the Architect is running an experiment, and Michael is the unwilling subject. To break the cycle, Michael must confront a terrifying reflection of himself and prove that a human soul is more than just a variable in an equation. In this high-stakes game of multiversal chess, the price of losing is eternal deletion.

Tear jerker,
character focused

Eighty-five-year-old Bill Mallot is disappearing, even as he stands right in front of his family. Within the walls of his suburban home, his mind is a fractured landscape where the present fades and vivid, fantastical delusions take flight. One moment he is a grandfather in his armchair; the next, he is a courageous explorer on a jungle safari or a knight hunting dragons with his seven-year-old granddaughter, Elara. While Elara finds magic in his 'flights of fancy,' the rest of the family is at a breaking point. His wife, Miriam, is a silent sentry, locking doors to keep Bill safe from a world that no longer understands him. Meanwhile, his son Bob sees only a dangerous liability, pushing for the cold safety of an institution after a wandering episode leaves the neighborhood on edge. As the line between Bill’s reality and his dementia-fueled dreams blurs, heart-wrenching secrets and old griefs resurface. Every chapter of Bill’s life is a battle between the dignity of home and the necessity of care. 'Here Today, Gone Today' is a masterfully told story of the agonizing weight of caregiving and the beautiful, tragic imagination of a mind that refuses to let go of its most precious memories.
