Overview

SHORTCUT is a reality-bending sci-fi mystery that begins with a simple decision - one man's desperate attempt to avoid traffic becomes a journey into the unknown. Eric Bennett is an ordinary commuter, stuck in the grind of routine and overwhelmed by the monotony of his daily life. But on a gray, rain-soaked morning on the Long Island Expressway, a moment of frustration leads him to take an unfamiliar exit - a narrow road through a wooded area he doesn't recall ever seeing before. When he emerges from a long, dark tunnel, the world he knows has shifted. At first, the changes are small: a missing scar, a different photo on his desk, a neighbor who swears they've never met. But soon, Eric realizes he's not in his world at all. His wife is gone, his job is altered, and strange figures seem to be watching him. As he digs deeper, he discovers the tunnel wasn't just a shortcut - it was a threshold. Now trapped in a near-identical reality, Eric must uncover the truth behind his displacement and the mysterious forces at work before he loses himself - or is erased entirely. SHORTCUT is a suspenseful and emotionally charged exploration of identity, regret, and the dangerous consequences of small decisions. What if the life you knew was only one version of the truth?

Author Information

Gregory S. Campbell is a 79-year-old Vietnam veteran, writer, and survivor whose life has been shaped by war, resilience, and purpose. After returning from combat and facing the long-term effects of Agent Orange exposure-including three battles with cancer and chronic PTSD-Greg found healing through a lifelong commitment to fitness and storytelling. A retired IT support specialist with a degree in Computer Science, he now dedicates his time to writing books that shine a light on the mental and emotional toll of military service, often drawing from personal experiences and those of fellow veterans. His work blends powerful fiction with autobiographical truth, capturing the struggles of isolation, the bonds formed in the shadows of trauma, and the search for meaning in life's later chapters. Whether speaking to a younger generation or reaching out to veterans who feel forgotten, Greg's stories are rooted in empathy, strength, and the unbreakable will to keep going. When he's not writing, Greg shares his journey through fitness and recovery on social media, inspiring others-veteran or not-to fight for their health, their peace, and their voice.
