The New Day

The New Day is the first chapter of The Two Worlds, the prequel short story set before the events of the main story.

05:13
En route to Bridlington, Doctor Daniel Farrow reviews a report of the first witness account of the formation of a blue wall stretching along the coast. He recalls being rudely awoken by his friend, Maria Lambert, who told him of the Boundary's formation and asked him to come.

05:46
Arriving at the coast, Daniel is approached by the military, who lead him to a group of other scientists, including Lambert, who show him the Boundary. Daniel is taken aback by the sheer scale of it before Colonel Grace Poulter enters and introduces herself as the head of a new task-force in charge of investigating the anomaly.

Farther south in Hornsea, Lars Wainwright joins many other on the beach in staring at the Boundary as news teams report on its formation.
