Stellar Requiem

In the cold, uncharted depths of space, Captain Mira Callen and her crew aboard the Valkyrie intercept a distress signal unlike any they've encountered before—an ancient transmission echoing from the long-lost starship Aurora, missing for over two centuries. But the message carries more than just a call for help; it's a haunting melody tied to Mira's past, a lullaby her father once sang, now twisted into something otherworldly. Drawn by both duty and personal ghosts, Mira leads her team into the heart of an anomaly known as the Eclipsed Heart, a region of space infamous for swallowing ships whole. What they find is beyond comprehension: the Aurora, adrift and intact, suspended in time and space, its crew caught between life and death, trapped in endless loops of their final moments. As Mira and her crew board the derelict vessel, they're plunged into a nightmare where reality fractures, and time is a fragile thread slipping through their fingers. The ship isn't abandoned—it's alive, pulsing with an ancient, malevolent force that feeds on memory, identity, and fear. Whispers haunt the corridors, familiar faces flicker in and out of existence, and Mira's grip on what's real begins to unravel. Faced with impossible choices and haunted by the echoes of her past, Mira must confront not only the anomaly but the darkness within herself. The line between rescuer and victim blurs, and the true cost of survival becomes terrifyingly clear. Stellar Requiem is a chilling sci-fi thriller, weaving cosmic horror, psychological suspense, and the haunting isolation of deep space into a story where the greatest threat isn't what's out there—but what's buried within. 4o
