Nine strangers wake up scattered through a maze of nearly identical rooms, each one stocked with random objects and no explanation for how they got there. Searching the rooms for an exit, they start to suspect the objects, and each other, hold the answer to why they were chosen—while something unseen picks them off, one at a time, for getting too close to the truth. This Invasion-universe novella turns nine unconnected lives into a locked-room puzzle where survival depends on finding what they share before it's too late.
