THE CONTINUITY ENGINE. The Murals of Denver International Airport - Amy Wertz

Haileigh Vance built her career on lies.

For three years, she fed millions of viewers carefully crafted conspiracy theories-fake documents, invented sources, and viral narratives about what might be hidden beneath Denver International Airport. It was all performance. Content designed to manipulate attention, trigger engagement, and keep the algorithm satisfied.

None of it was real.

Until the airport invites her inside.

What begins as an opportunity to debunk her own mythology quickly fractures into something she can't explain. Symbols she invented appear carved into steel. Architectural details she fabricated exist exactly as she described them. Hidden patterns emerge where there should be none.

And beneath it all, something is listening.

Deep below the airport lies a system older than the infrastructure built around it-an Engine that does not run on power, but on belief. It absorbs stories, amplifies attention, and reshapes reality according to what people are convinced is true. For years, Haileigh has been feeding it without knowing-turning fiction into blueprint, speculation into structure.

Now it knows her.

As her content spreads across the internet, the Engine grows stronger, extending beyond Denver into a global network of airports, systems, and minds. Conspiracies stop being theories. They become architecture. And the line between what is imagined and what exists begins to collapse.

To stop it, Haileigh must do the impossible: rewrite the story she's already told.

But belief is not easily undone.

And the Engine is no longer just listening.

It's learning.

THE CONTINUITY ENGINE is a literary science fiction thriller about belief, authorship, and the terrifying possibility that the stories we tell don't just reflect the world-they build it.

For readers of Annihilation, Ex Machina, and Mexican Gothic.
