Where the Walls Breathe: This Station Never Lets You Leave Alone.
(eBook)

Maris Hale has spent over two hundred days alone aboard Threnody-9, a derelict station orbiting a gas giant at the edge of known space. Her mission: stabilize failing systems, maintain life support, and endure the silence. But the station is no longer quiet.When tools shift in the dark and a child's lullaby echoes through the vents, Maris begins to question what remains of her mind. Dreams she never had, voices she never recorded, and footprints that shouldn't exist pull her into a slow unraveling.The deeper she searches the station's forgotten corridors, the more impossible details surface-crew logs that name her dead brother, sealed doors that respond to her voice, and memories she cannot trust.As reality fractures and the station seems to breathe with its own intent, Maris must face the truth she buried long ago-before Threnody seals her in for good.What happens when the only way out… is through a past that never left? They told us the stars were maps. That they guided us, promised us destiny, and whispered truths too vast for mortal minds. But they lied.In When the Stars Lied, each standalone story drifts through the cold silence of the cosmos-where identity crumbles, memories fracture, and reality collapses under the weight of something incomprehensibly vast. Time stretches. Love distorts. A message from nowhere might know your name before you do. Nothing here is what it seems-not the station, not the signal, not even yourself.This isn't horror that chases you. It waits-still, patient, embedded in static, orbit, and dream. It's the soft terror of waking in the wrong timeline. The chill of a voice calling you home from inside a black hole. The beauty of something ancient wearing your memories like a mask.These are stories of awe, collapse, and the quiet horror of knowing too much.There are no endings here.No truth without cost.No way back.When the stars lied, they didn't whisper.They sang.And we're still listening.
