A Novella.
A pristine childhood. A phantom hometown. A code she must break to survive.
For forty-three years, archival surveyor Emily Cross has lived with a mind like a machine, haunted by childhood memories of a picture-perfect South Dakota valley that she was abruptly smuggled out of in 1986.
Now in 2016, modern satellite data reveals an impossible truth: her hometown doesn't just look abandoned-it officially does not exist. The valley is an ancient, untouched wilderness that has never seen a human settlement.
Driven to solve the error in her own mind, Emily uses a classified temporal portal to step backward into the past. But observing her youth through adult eyes exposes a terrifying, mechanical reality. The buildings are hollow shells. The townspeople are trapped in behavioral loops. Her own identity is a fabrication. Caught in a countdown before the portal closes forever, Emily must unearth the subterranean engine room of her entire life-and risk everything to execute a real-world rescue mission.

Alan Miller writes speculative science fiction and historical fiction exploring the intersection of ordinary lives and extraordinary possibilities. His stories often begin with a simple question: What if something we thought was impossible became possible?
His fiction blends time travel, technology, well-researched history, humor, and human relationships, focusing on the choices people make when given the chance to step outside the lives they know.
His stories are part of the expanding Echo Chamber series, a connected universe built around mysterious technology that allows carefully selected individuals to experience the past. Each story explores a different consequence of that technology, from historical adventures and second chances to unexpected ways the past can reach into the present.
