Iron Fic 3-12: That Which Lies Beneath

We like to think we know what we stand on. Solid ground, in the literal sense; solid foundational beliefs in the psychic. The beliefs form the core of our understanding of the world, and when you realize that you aren't standing on terra firma in either sense of the word, you fall.

Those beliefs? Toss them. Your challenge for this week is to write about people discovering that what's really under their feet defies rationality. Perhaps ÔÇ£magicÔÇØ really is hyper-advanced technology, or vice versa. Perhaps a city is undermined by a tunnel network inhabited by... things (hello New York City!) Or some freakish combination: the underground system houses ruins left by humanity's ancient colony ship, etc. (Homeworld?)

As demonstrated above, you are free to choose how literal you want to be in your interpretation of the prompt. The one constant is that authors need to demonstrate how these discoveries affect the characters and setting. There is no going back for the character(s) who make these discoveries, even if they decide to keep what they know a secret. If they decide to do so, remember that they presumably want to keep other people in the dark, and former friends will be trying to learn why they've changed...


Note that this was originally going to be just the mental side of things, then I realized that some people would take this prompt hyper literally. Consider yourselves preempted.
