📖 Story

When her husband vanishes without a trace, a biologist volunteers for an impossible mission into Annihilation—a shimmering, beautiful boundary where nature itself has gone wrong. Inside the shimmer, time fractures, DNA unravels, and every creature becomes something else entirely. What begins as a desperate rescue becomes an unflinching descent into a world where the only real horror is what the expedition discovers about themselves.
