About this ebook
Dr. Mira Chen wiped frost from her goggles and checked the thermal. The core sample had been clean for the first three hundred meters—layers of compressed snow, each one a fossilized breath of the planet’s past. But at three hundred and twelve meters, the drill shuddered.
“Hold,” she said into her headset. “We’ve hit something solid. Non-ice.”
The rig fell silent. The only sound was the wind, a low and endless moan across the white desert.
Her field assistant, a young glaciologist named Petrov, peered into the borehole camera’s display. His breath fogged the screen. “That’s not rock,” he whispered.
Mira pushed him aside gently and looked.
The image was grainy, lit by a single LED. But it was unmistakable. A shape. A silhouette. A man.
He was curled on his side, preserved in the ice like a fly in amber. His clothing was wrong—wool, leather, brass buttons. Nineteenth century. And yet the ice around him had been dated by surrounding cores to the Pleistocene epoch. Twelve thousand years old. Maybe more.
“Impossible,” Mira breathed.

About the author
Wind Amiras writes psychological and literary fiction that explores identity, love, grief, and the subtle ways people shape each other over time. Spanning thriller, horror, and mystery, his stories circle around a deceptively simple question: what does it truly mean to know someone — or even yourself — in a world where who we are can quietly shift, fracture, or be rewritten?
He is drawn to the dark edges of human experience — the fears we don’t name, the secrets we bury, and the unsettling feeling that something, just beneath the surface, is not quite right.
Beyond fiction, Wind writes on lifestyle, health, and personal growth, translating complex ideas into accessible insights through eBooks and articles.
Based in Jakarta, Indonesia, he is an entrepreneur whose work has always required the same instinct that drives his fiction: the habit of looking beneath the surface and asking why. That curiosity — precise, patient, resistant to easy answers — shapes everything he writes.
Deliberate. Layered. Always reaching for something truer.
