Newton met the Auditor, and the Auditor won.
In the Stuttered Districts of the lunar colonies, the laws of physics are no longer constant-they are a currency. Under the iron grip of the Directorate, gravity can be paused, momentum can be traded, and the physical consequences of an action can be shunted into a temporal escrow. It is a world of perfect, manufactured stillness.
But the universe always keeps its books balanced.
Elias is a Vector-Bailiff, a man hired to cash in the kinetic debts of the wealthy. From a thirty-year-old fall frozen inches above a river to a veteran's shunted war shots finally arriving a decade late, Elias ensures that every vector finds its destination. But when a Null-Vector is born outside the Ledger, the entire system begins to oscillate toward a terminal release.
From the technical grit of kinetic smuggling to the existential weight of a soul's momentum, The Inertia of Intent is a collection of 15 jagged stories exploring a reality where you can delay the physics of an action-but you can never outrun the intent behind it.
The debt is due. The stutter is ending. And the world is about to move.
