“Why do I have to save the world? I just want to live a normal life.” Muddy wanted a quiet life. Go to work.Come home.Take care of his dog.Repeat. Then, one evening, the entire city stopped. The cars froze. The wind disappeared. Everyone around him became completely still. And across the street stood something that looked almost human. It had no face. No eyes. Yet Muddy knew— it was looking directly at him. He told himself it was nothing. He was wrong. Soon, strange black cracks began appearing in the real world. People disappeared. Buildings distorted. CCTV footage recorded things that shouldn't exist. And somewhere beyond those cracks was a place called White Space. A place that wasn't quite another world. A place between worlds. Muddy doesn't know why he can find it. He doesn't know why he keeps following that strange instinct inside him. And he certainly doesn't have a grand mission. He never asked to be a hero. But the deeper he goes, the more he realizes that something is being erased from the world. And eventually, he discovers something terrifying. He may be disappearing along with it. First things first. He needs to find a way home.
