OSAKAWIRE FICTION: LITERARY FICTION

In Everything

In 2187, an electrical engineer gets thirty-seven seconds on a failing relay to speak to her son before he disappears. Nobody records what she says. Nobody thinks to. But she is an engineer, and she understands what the physics will allow, and she uses every second she has. What follows is the story of what a voice becomes when it refuses to stop — told across eight thousand years, through the people and places and civilizations it passes through on its way to the one person it was always meant to reach. In Everything is a novel about the distance between a person who cannot stop looking and the person they are looking for. About what love leaves behind when everything else is gone. About the difference between a signal and silence, and why some things keep going long after they have any reason to.
