    Summary

    Abigail Brooks is an accountant for a supermarket chain who occasionally visits abandoned buildings for a mild thrill; her life is mostly uneventful, until she starts experiencing worrisome health problems, all curiously unexplained. As Abigail tries to find the source of the problem, she receives a letter in the mail detailing a class action lawsuit against a company she's never heard of... at least, not this version of her.

    Pomni and the denizens of the digital circus are quietly resigned to a stagnant but fulfilling life. Everyone seems happy enough, but events far beyond their control soon change everything... and a surprise visit brings disturbing new information that has both the occupants of the circus - and their real world counterparts - fighting for each other and anyone else who might fall victim to the hands in the dark, silently pulling the strings.

    Summary

    It comes in waves. Grief. It doesn't go away. Everyone knows this. It's what they tell you when you lose everything.

    They figure out how to help the abstractions. But it doesn't get better on its own.

    It just takes time.

    Summary

    It’s bad to rile up the abstractions. Pomni knows that. But the creature just looks at her finger, going cross-eyed, before all the eyes move back to her face.

    “And when I do find you again out there, which I will,” she swears, “I’m going to beat you up for everything, and it will hurt and it will bruise because we’ll have real blood and actual bodies, and… and you’ll take it, because I’m going to get you back for all the hell you put me through."

    Pomni takes in a breath.

    "And I'll finally be able to get to know you, Jax."
