Prologue – The LHC – February 2025
Deep beneath the French-Swiss border, inside the heart of the Large Hadron Collider, the intricate superconducting magnets of the massive complex began to activate as a crew of technicians monitored several large banks of computer consoles. Instruments sensed the environment and recorded pertinent data, and, for the most part, everything looked normal.
Dr. Henry Dharma sat in a seat near the central control monitor, his hands behind his head, watching the data streams come across the screen. On the surface, Dharma appeared calm, but his outward appearance didn’t tell the whole truth about the tension he was feeling in anticipation of what was happening before his very eyes.
Tonight’s experimental run wasn’t a standard one, for sure. It wasn’t approved, and it wasn’t supposed to happen this evening, nor at any other time.
“Facility stability confirmed,” an engineer called out. “We’re ready to introduce phases one and two.”
Dharma nodded. “Initiate Phase Three.”
A few heads turned around. Phase Three wasn’t on the schedule, but no one questioned Henry Dharma. His reputation was solid, and the leaders in quantum mechanics saw him as a brilliant prospect. If he said there was a reason for initiating a phase three run, everyone assumed he had already calculated the risks.
If only they knew the truth.
The collider came to life as electricity flowed through the massive ring, the vibrations so subtle they could almost be mistaken for the adjustment of a chair’s seatback. On the computer screens, particle pathways were depicted as being in their customary, anticipated tight spirals.
“Dr. Dharma,” said his colleague, Dr. Michelle Sims, “These numbers you’re inputting, you’re pushing the collision frequency beyond the safe tolerance threshold.”
“I know,” he said softly. “That’s the point.”
Michelle frowned. “The point?”
Dharma leaned over the console and typed in the numbers he had memorized months ago, a sequence of figures no one else knew existed. It was something authored during a preliminary experiment he’d participated in several years prior. An experiment that was classified, buried, and officially condemned.
The screen flashed: BACKDOOR GATE INITIATED.
Michelle’s voice rang out. “Henry, what the hell are you doing?”
“Looking,” he whispered back.
And then the first of several alarms began to scream throughout the complex.
A violent spike appeared in the data stream, showing values that should have been impossible to reach. The collider’s sensors registered a fluctuation in the spacetime construct itself. A distortion or tear in the Matrix was occurring.
The lights dimmed in the control room, and the engineers looked at one another as the floor began to shake underneath their feet.
“Shut it down!” Michelle yelled. Her heartbeat increased. She took a step toward the glass observation window. A white light appeared and quickly widened, expanding into something resembling a slit.
Through that tiny opening, darkness looked back, and in that darkness were eyes, hundreds of them, watching her and observing the others in attendance from another place foreign to the one where they were experiencing reality.
The room fell completely silent. No one breathed.
The eyes weren’t human. They weren’t anything born of this universe. They shifted back and forth, curiously looking and observing what lay before them.
The slit widened a bit.
Michelle stumbled backward. “Dear God, they’re looking at us,” she said.
Dharma whispered. “No, they’ve always been looking, Michelle, but now they can see.”
The slit in the Matrix suddenly closed and disappeared. The lights in the complex returned to full strength as the collider’s vibration began to lessen. The technicians had shut down the operation. Soon, the alarms that had been active in the control room were silent.
Michelle stared at Henry, horrified. “You opened something you shouldn’t have, maybe something you can’t close.”
Henry didn’t look at her. Instead, he looked straight ahead through the safety glass that separated the technicians and scientists from the collider’s machinery, where the tear in the Matrix had formed and then vanished from sight seconds ago.
“Not something,” he said. “Someone!” Henry removed the unauthorized code from the controller’s memory banks and forced the system into hibernation mode. The evidence of the event was completely erased. The witnesses attending the experiment hadn’t yet realized the damage they had unleashed.
But Michelle Sims knew they had opened a gate, and on the other side, someone was watching and had taken notice of humanity!

About the Book
Over sixty minutes in an isolated roadside diner in rural Montana, two strangers are forced to confront suppressed and traumatic memories, discovering that time, guilt, and truth are far more dangerous than the authorities awaiting them.

What if fiction reveals the truths modern society refuses to face?
Truth Engines is a bold collection of science fiction shorts that acknowledges the hidden realities currently affecting humanity. Blending imagination with clever storytelling, these writings explore a wide range of important subjects currently impacting all human beings.
Releasing September 1st, 2026
Science fiction has traditionally been a way for writers to discuss difficult ideas safely. It has allowed authors to examine dangerous possibilities before they become reality. Sometimes fiction entertains us, sometimes it warns us, and sometimes it says the necessary things that otherwise couldn’t be said.
These stories are not meant to preach or claim absolute answers. They are meant to encourage thought. They will hopefully inspire readers to ask questions about power, truth, freedom, artificial intelligence, corruption, media influence, medical ethics, surveillance, and the future direction of humanity itself.
Some readers may see these stories as pure fiction. Others may recognize pieces of the modern world hidden inside them. That choice belongs to you, the reader.
The goal of my writing is twofold: to entertain while also encouraging people to think more deeply about the systems shaping human life behind the scenes.
Whether these stories inspire agreement, debate, curiosity, or discomfort, I hope they stay with you long after the final page.
Sometimes fiction is not an escape from reality, but rather the only way to talk about it.

It’s an amazing read! The stories in Truth Engines were born and live in the spaces between the 88 black-and-white notes on a piano keyboard. If you’re a fan of The Twilight Zone, you’ll really love this book!

Critical Reviews
“Rachel Alig is terrific as Donna while Justin Ray as Clyde also manages to impress. Combining witty commentary with a constant threat to life, script writers Palo and Reizer develop a narrative that is funny and charming while ensuring that none of the thrill and danger is lost in the process.”
– INDIE WRAP MAGAZINE
“Drama, thrills, comedy and so much more: Directors Andrew Arguello and MJ Palo’s Target List has all the fixings of a great movie. Combining a fantastic cast with the witty writing of MJ Palo and John Reizer, whichever way you flip this film, it lands on its feet with feline agility.”
– INDY REVIEWS
“The script by Palo with John Reizer, for the most part, rides that perfect balance between its more dramatic moments and perfectly placed moments of humor that never distract. While they’re probably not going to get invited to any big pharma conventions anytime soon, Reizer and Palo have a point, and they make it beautifully.”
“Target List is a great view for anyone who wants a compelling and suspenseful flick with a message that matters.”

Gareth Icke – Derby, England
GARETH ICKE – DIRECTOR OF THE DAVID ICKE WEBSITE“Target List had me on the edge of my seat throughout. Not the least because of its believability!“
