“We are all anomalies in someone else’s story.”
Chapter 1: The Flight
The novel opens with David, a commercial airline pilot, preparing for a routine flight from Paris to New York. The journey begins normally, but as the plane crosses the Atlantic, something inexplicable happens—the aircraft enters a strange anomaly, causing it to vanish from radar and plunge into an alternate reality.
Chapter 2: The Disorientation
David and the passengers awaken to find themselves in a world that is eerily similar yet subtly different. Familiar landmarks exist, but with slight variations. The crew struggles to maintain order as panic spreads among the passengers, who sense something is profoundly wrong.
Chapter 3: The Investigation
Authorities in this alternate world detain David and question him about the mysterious plane’s sudden appearance. Scientists and government agents take an interest in the anomaly, theorizing about parallel universes and the nature of reality. David becomes both a subject of study and a suspect.
Chapter 4: The Duality
David discovers that in this world, he has a doppelgänger—a version of himself who made different life choices. This encounter forces him to reflect on his own identity, regrets, and the paths not taken. The two Davids form an uneasy alliance to uncover the truth.
Chapter 5: The Conspiracy
As David digs deeper, he uncovers a shadowy organization that has been experimenting with dimensional rifts. The group sees him as a threat and begins hunting him down. Meanwhile, the passengers of the flight scatter, some adapting to this new world, others desperate to return home.
Chapter 6: The Escape
David and a small group of survivors attempt to find a way back to their original reality. They navigate through surreal landscapes and encounter other anomalies—people and objects displaced from their own worlds. The journey becomes a test of endurance and sanity.
Chapter 7: The Revelation
David learns that the anomalies are not random but part of a larger cosmic pattern. The boundaries between realities are thinning, and his flight was merely one of many such events. The revelation forces him to question whether returning is even possible—or desirable.
Chapter 8: The Choice
Faced with the opportunity to go back, David must decide whether to return to his old life or embrace the unknown possibilities of this new world. His decision hinges on his encounters with alternate versions of loved ones and the haunting question of what defines “home.”
Chapter 9: The Resolution
The novel concludes ambiguously, leaving David’s ultimate fate open to interpretation. Whether he returns, stays, or is lost between worlds remains unresolved, emphasizing the book’s themes of uncertainty, identity, and the fragility of reality.
