A Song in the Static - She Followed the Signal. Something Answered. #898939

Mara Vyne is alone at the edge of known space, stationed aboard Relay Ith-9—a forgotten satellite listening post where silence is standard. But when a faint melody filters through the static, everything changes. The song is unmistakably tied to Kael, her long-dead partner. It’s not just a voice. It’s his voice.
Desperate for answers, Mara defies protocol and begins tracing the signal. But the deeper she digs, the more her memories falter. Systems she hasn’t touched respond to her thoughts. Logs contain things she doesn’t remember saying. And the signal? It’s not coming from any known sector. It’s coming from inside the grid—and it knows her name.
Haunted by grief, guilt, and flashes of a life that no longer feels entirely her own, Mara enters a tightening spiral of memory and recursion. As her grip on reality begins to slip, she’s forced to confront an impossible question: What if she’s not chasing a ghost... but becoming one?
In this slow-burn sci-fi psychological thriller, memory is unstable, grief is weaponized, and identity is never quite what it seems.
How do you find the truth—
—when you’re no longer sure you were ever real?
