Subcutanean: An Excerpt

In this excerpt from Chapter 10 of Subcutanean, Ryan (short for Orion) has gotten lost in the depths of a fractal basement underneath his house, which he and his friend Niko call Downstairs. They’ve realized that different parallel universes connect through its miles of hallways and empty rooms. Downstairs seems to multiply everything: architecture, emotions, even people.

After becoming separated, Ryan eventually finds Niko again, but slowly realizes this is a different Niko: one who’s been lost down here for a far, far longer time.

Niko...longer time.
