Moussa Bourji

A novella loosely inspired by personal observations during the Lebanese-Israeli war of 2024. A dream within a dream. A crater within a crater. A tear within a Týr. Samuel, a wry writer, flees his war-torn city of Týr, only to awaken in strange realms, a dreamscape of shifting oddities and a gray prison that compels him to write feverishly of his lost love, Eileen. The deeper he delves into those worlds, the more the wall obscuring sleep crumbles.
Beyond him, the war between Yusnann and Erujah intensifies. Siren-wailing drones scream above, and F-35 Fulcrums tear across the horizon. War never changes. Yusnann's children die. The world watches and does nothing. Craters mar Týr, and underneath them all, a voice whispers.
