“The Quarter”

Be careful what you wish for… Chuck learns too late that some wishes should never come true
Barrie Carter is a science fiction author, storyteller, and the creator behind the immersive Fiction on the Edge universe. He’s the author of CoreFall, a gripping sci-fi thriller that kicks off a century-long timeline filled with mystery, disaster, and human resilience. Barrie’s writing blends cinematic world-building with raw emotional depth — challenging readers to question truth, sacrifice, and survival in the face of the unknown. When he’s not writing, Barrie hosts Fiction on the Edge — The Podcast, where he explores the worlds he creates, dives into behind-the-scenes lore, and connects with readers and fellow creators. With a background in storytelling, a passion for epic narratives, and a mug always full of coffee, Barrie’s mission is simple: Stay tuned. Stay curious. Stay on the edge.
