    In a remote mountain village, debt-collector Durwood finds himself troubled by conflicting memories when he is tasked with claiming the old windmill property of the mysteriously vanished professor Rohr. This is a short story about certain kinds of 'ghosts', and the unsettling ways in which they can play a strange part in our past and future. 
    The story was written back in 2004 but never published. Now, twenty years later, it has been dusted off and polished to coincide with the release of S.M. Thygesen's new novel 'Burning Bright'. 'Haunting Infinity' is a distinct story, set in the 1950'ies, many years before the events of 'Burning Bright', but there is a connection in terms of the origin of some tech and a founding character, who will also be making a brief appearance at the end of the new novel.

    They don’t want Shay. They want you. 
    	Okay, so these were not the words I was expecting, coming from my angel father Matiel’s mouth. But here they were. 
    	The Assassins’ Guild of Angels wants me dead. 
    	Fantastic. 
    	I mean, what’s a witch gotta do to catch a break these days? I can’t even go for a leisurely stroll without someone trying to off me. 
    	Worse, I have no idea why they’re hunting me. 
    	But you know what they say: When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. And I’ve got a whole lot of lemons to work with. 
    	I may not be an angel like my father, but I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve too. Especially when it comes to saving my own skin.  
    	Do I run and hide from these angel assassins? Nope. I’m going to face them head-on and fight.

    We think we understand the laws of physics. 
     
     
     
    We think a lot of things. It was perhaps inevitable that some of them would turn out to be wrong. 
     
     
     
    When the great incursion occurred, no one was prepared. Of all the things physicists had predicted, "the fabric of reality might rip open and giant monsters could come pouring through" had not made the list. But somehow, that was precisely what happened. 
     
     
     
    For sisters Susan and Katharine Black, the day of the incursion was the day they lost everything. Their home, their parents, their sense of normalcy . . . and each other, because when the rift opened, each sister was stranded in a separate form of reality. For Susan, it was science and study and the struggle to solve the mystery of the altered physics inside the zones transformed by the incursion. For Katharine, it was monsters and mayhem and the fight to stay alive in a world unlike the world of her birth. 
     
     
     
    The world has changed. The laws of physics have changed. The girls have changed. And the one universal truth of all states of changed matter is that nothing can be completely restored to what it was originally, no matter how much you might wish it could be. 
     
     
     
    Nothing goes back.
