he asks, reading my expression. "Antarctic site. Complete failure. Thirty-six hour window." I'm already activating the emergency communication network, sending wake-up calls to the rest of our team and Mrs. Holloway. "In March," Cain observes grimly. "Antarctic winter. Temperatures approaching minus-sixty, six months of polar night, and weather that can kill you in minutes." "Plus a dimensional breach that's destabilizing reality across the continent," I add, pulling on thermal base layers. "At least we know our vacation plans for the next few weeks."

His roommate, Valeria Cruz, had practically forced him into the outfit—a charcoal button-down that was tapered perfectly to his lean, athletic frame, paired with dark slacks and polished boots.

By Halloween we'll be knee deep in dead leaves, freezing temperatures, and a rainy winter mix. Once the beautiful part of fall ends and the dredges of winter begin, I always curse my misfortune of living in Michigan. Every year at this time, my dream of moving to Florida is revisited.

You haven't even experienced the real thing." "Don't remind me, I'm stupid enough to run away this far."
