September 10th, 2008

If you enjoy Blake Crouch or John Keel, this story will stay with you. From writer RT Dixon comes a story he was never meant to hear. A retired CERN technician contacts him with something he has carried for nearly twenty years. He was present when the Large Hadron Collider first powered up on September 10, 2008, and he believes that was the moment everything changed. At first it was small. Objects appeared where they had never been.
Familiar places felt subtly wrong. Memories no longer matched photographs or the recollections of others. Then it happened again. And again. Notes he wrote disappeared. Personal items vanished from his home. Details he had known all his life no longer aligned with reality. He is not the only one. Across the world, people report the same unsettling experiences. Missing objects. Altered locations. Memories that no longer match recorded history.
Many dismiss these incidents as error or faulty recall. Others recognize them as part of what has come to be known as the Mandela Effect. But the patterns are disturbingly consistent. Through dialogue, documented timelines, and extensive research, Dixon examines these accounts and the unsettling possibility that they are more than coincidence. At first, it's easy to ignore. Eventually, it isn't.
