When the Air Starts to Go

You don’t notice air.

That’s the trick of it.

You notice storms. You notice fire. You notice the sea when it climbs your front porch steps and helps itself to your living room furniture. But air? Air is invisible. It’s polite. It slips into your lungs without asking for applause.

Until one day it doesn’t feel right.

In Breathless Earth, the disaster doesn’t arrive with sirens. It arrives with numbers. With readings that are just a little off. With scientists who wake up at 3:17 a.m. because something in the data won’t sit still. Oxygen ratios shifting. Carbon signatures whispering that the planet is changing its mind about us.

And the worst part?

The Earth isn’t angry.

 It’s adjusting.

This story asks a simple, uncomfortable question:

 What if the planet doesn’t need to kill us dramatically?

 What if it just needs to breathe differently?

Breathless Earth is a slow tightening of the chest. A global thriller where science becomes prophecy and the atmosphere itself becomes the quiet antagonist.
