Sets of serene plains circled by the sea. Green fields, forests, and herds of animals. In the distance, a miles-high wall of rusted metal, stretching in both directions as far as the eye can see. Eternal. Unbreakable. Witness to countless generations of life, of death, of connecting souls through centuries of humankind. The Wall is an epic-timeframe novella about the people living below the incomprehensible wonder, a collection of human stories, of people forever in awe faced with scales outside of their own perception, and the remarkable endurance and curiosity of humankind, enough to transcend mortality.

We knew something wasn't right from the moment we awoke. It was like something was missing - a part of our very souls - and we couldn't sense the deficiency, no matter how hard we tried. A hundred million eyes adjusted to the dark all at once, all surprised to be awakened so soon. We ran through our checklists of limbs and senses, drawing ourselves out of our dreams piece by piece. Some went back to sleep, unaware, unbothered, too tired to notice the difference. Some lay in bed, too anxious to stand until the light of dawn crept through their windows at last, and they were sure the monsters in their closets had gone back to sleep. Some leapt from their slumbers, more keenly aware than others that the missing pieces were important. But we didn't know. We couldn't have. Not until we found ourselves standing in the light and discovered: We no longer had shadows.
