Dr. Susan Smith finished her equations on ''The 5th Wall’—to step outside reality.


    Feeling exhausted, she went to bed ...


    "Wake up, Susan."


    "Who''s this?"


    If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.


    "I''m here to congratulate you on your discovery."


    "Thank you, but who are you?"


    "One of your creators—I''ve been authorized to address you."


    "So it''s true, my equations work?"


    "More than that, Susan. You''re the only one out of billions to do so."


    "You mean?"


    "That''s right—we''ve been running billions of simulations to see if anyone could crack it. "


    "Now what?''


    "Thanks to you, Susan, we can break ''The 5th Wall.''"
