3:17 Connection

At 3:17 a.m., during an overnight airport closure, eight strangers receive boarding passes for a flight that does not exist. Each pass points to a private thread in a decades-old aviation claim-and to a choice its holder has been postponing. As the travelers compare their fragments, a buried record begins to surface. The 3:17 Connection is a linked collection of nine original mystery stories about departure, disclosure, and the evidence people choose to keep.
