Journey to the West Valley Wall

To the rest of the world, it's just a walk. To Jack, it's an odyssey.

Jack Van Horne is a master of the cosmic epic, but his own world has shrunk to the size of a few city blocks. For ten years, agoraphobia has been his silent shadow, a "self-imposed prison" that medication can't break, and his editor dismisses as a stubborn case of writer's block. While he struggles to find an ending for his legendary space fantasy series, the walls of his neighbourhood are closing in.

Jack knows he isn't just stuck; he's fading.

The routine of his safe zone is upended when Jack is tasked with watching his young niece for a few days. It's a standard family favour, but there's a catch: she isn't staying with him. To care for her, Jack must step beyond the sanctity of his borders and venture toward the West Valley Wall.
