The Initiation

Submitted to the Midnight Oil anthology.

Eliza Chisum is following in her father's footsteps. She is a scientist at heart, but she's also gifted with her mother's abilities to pierce the veil. As her intuition educates her on the ways of the universe, to the chagrin of her college professors, she feels the truth. Her teachers know the facts. And, facts don't care about anyone's feelings. 

 

When her unconscious reality intersects with an immortal being, Thothiemus from the lost civilization of Atlantis, she discovers that there is more to her parent's car accident, which killed them, than meets the eye. Eliza volunteers to reorient the space-time continuum. 

 

During her search, she uncovers the truth: her creative physics placed her brothers', Samuel and James, lives in danger. This leads the young woman down a path of soul-searching, self-actualization, and quantum consciousness.

Will she set the timeline back before the damage cannot be undone? Or, will she be fated to watch her brothers incur the wrath of forces out of her control?  

Whatever the future holds, Eliza Chisum ventures into the Hall of Records and beyond time itself, revealing her own destiny from a past she had long forgotten.

Welcome to The Initiation. 

...based on The Reality Hackers

What if the quantum universe is more than equations in a textbook? What if... it resides in our minds? Eliza Chisum discovers the universe is more than she ever hoped. She was there from the beginning. She hopes correcting a timeline jump will not be her end.

 

Another scifi classic in the making, The Initiation follows The Reality Hackers' Chisum family, and is based on scientific facts and studies, as well as personal experiences.
