About this ebook
A sidewalk is built in small town America, it leads to a field. Murry decides to take a midnight stroll on the "sidewalk to nowhere" and finds she is in for an adventure.
The story was inspired by a music prompt contest using Blue Oyster Cult's song "Veteran of a Psychic War" as well as a small fan based reference to Michael Moorcock's Elric of Melniboné.
