Shortcut: One Tunnel. Two Realities.

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

SHORTCUT is a reality-bending sci-fi mystery that begins with a simple decision — one man's desperate attempt to avoid traffic becomes a journey into the unknown.

Eric Bennett is an ordinary commuter, stuck in the grind of routine and overwhelmed by the monotony of his daily life. But on a gray, rain-soaked morning on the Long Island Expressway, a moment of frustration leads him to take an unfamiliar exit — a narrow road through a wooded area he doesn't recall ever seeing before. When he emerges from a long, dark tunnel, the world he knows has shifted.

At first, the changes are small: a missing scar, a different photo on his desk, a neighbor who swears they've never met. But soon, Eric realizes he's not in his world at all. His wife is gone, his job is altered, and strange figures seem to be watching him. As he digs deeper, he discovers the tunnel wasn't just a shortcut — it was a threshold.

Now trapped in a near-identical reality, Eric must uncover the truth behind his displacement and the mysterious forces at work before he loses himself — or is erased entirely.

SHORTCUT is a suspenseful and emotionally charged exploration of identity, regret, and the dangerous consequences of small decisions. What if the life you knew was only one version of the truth?
