The Broken Mirror

In a fractured metaverse ruled by a collective intelligence, one being breaks away—carrying with him a single, dangerous truth: individuality can survive. The Broken Mirror follows M-X, a former extension of a hive mind, as he protects a child who was never meant to exist as an individual at all. Hunted by what he once was, M-X must confront the cost of memory, identity, and love in a universe that believes meaning only exists when it is shared. This is a quiet science-fiction story about what remains when everything that defined you is stripped away—and the choice to care anyway.
