Piirkonnas, mida tuntakse kui ala X, toimub midagi kahtlast. Ametliku versiooni kohaselt korraldati naabruses tegutsenud sojavaebaasis mingi katsetus, mille kaigus laks uht-teist valesti. Tulemuseks oli lokaalne okokatastroof. Kuna looduslikult on tegemist peamiselt mangroovialaga ja seal ei olnud suurt midagi peale paari kalurikula, ei hairi toimunu eriti kedagi, liiatigi on juhtunust juba aastakumneid moodas. Vahel saadetakse jarjekordne ekspeditsioon olukorda ule vaatama. Monikord juhtub ekspeditsiooniliikmetega aga imelikke asju. Naiteks lahevad nad tulli ja lasevad uksteist maha. Voi siis ilmuvad jarsku tagasi koju teadmata, kuidas nad seda tegid, ja on uldse kuidagi nagu ara vahetatud. Triloogia „Lounaringkond“ esimene osa „Having“ kujutab endast jarjekordsel ekspeditsioonil osaleva naisbioloogi paevikut. Sellest selgub, et miski pole paris nii, nagu instrueerimisel oeldi, ja ka mitte nii, nagu esimesel silmapilgul paistab, vaid pigem kohedust tekitavalt kummaline. „Having“ voitis 2014. aastal parima ulmeromaanina Nebula auhinna. Eesti keeles on Jeff VanderMeeri (snd 1968) loomingut varem tutvustatud antoloogiates „Taheaeg 4“ ja „Taheaeg 9“. www.jeffvandermeer.com
