Flight

A Quantum Fiction Novel

  • 1 Want to read

A writer seeking the meaning of existence finds himself entangled in a love story of multiverse dimensions as the fiction he is writing interweaves with reality, and mundane routines engage mysterious coincidences and adventure on a subatomic level.

The life of writer Mendle J. Orion is forever changed the day he meets a mysterious young woman with intense blue eyes and total amnesia who looks at modern urban life as though she's seeing it for the first time. The soulful stranger has no memory of any past yet Orion is strangely ecstatic about meeting her.

While friends question Mendle's sanity and begin to investigate the woman's identity, he falls in love with the young woman he names Aira Flight. With the innocence of a newborn, Aira discovers urban life as if it were unfamiliar— crime, war, poverty, love, nature, music, food, fashion, and video games. Mendle's conviction about her unearthly quality is sealed when he discovers she has no navel.

Orion's novel-in-progress is curiously about a woman with uncanny resemblance to the stranger. As he writes the chapters, they eerily coincide with real events. Mendle becomes obsessed with synchronicity and what he perceives as peculiar interplays of fiction with reality, and people in his life become obsessed with finding out the woman's past and bringing him to his senses.

A novel within a novel intertwines, twists and turns. When pieces of puzzling mysteries fit together, they reveal the door to the world of ultimate superheroes and possibility, blurring the line where fairy tale and the real world meet.
