Circa 3218. Humanity sails between stars and through galaxies as if they were streetlights, yet one ship drifts into Andromeda and never quite arrives.

Something fractures in the silence: a mind, a memory, a man who can no longer tell which pieces of himself still belong to him. The crew feel it first in the pauses, the half-truths, and the way the cosmos presses against their ribs like a warning.

On Planet Alpha, where the wind sounds almost human and the ground remembers every footstep, grief grows teeth. Guilt plants its roots. And the past, long buried, claws its way into the present until no soul can tell whether the danger lies in the world they explore… or in the thoughts blooming within their own minds. Out here, light cannot save you. And not everyone wants to be saved.

STUCK… is the opening chapter of a lore that explores the human condition-a quiet, relentless descent into the
places the universe cannot reach, the places we hide within.
