Xorientation
a science fiction novella
by Thorne
Dawn eagerly sets out to her first semester of college, excited for the future, where she quickly bonds to her enigmatic roommate, Andrea. However, strange events soon have her questioning the nature of reality and who Andrea truly is.
Blurring the lines between a mono no aware slice-of-life story and sci-fi psychological thriller, Xorientation explores why it is ever more important to stop and smell the sakura as technology is rapidly pushing the boundaries of time, space, and reality itself.
