About This Book

A lone attendant mans a small, thin-walled observation sphere stationed far beyond the galaxy to gather data that can only be taken in intergalactic space. His two predecessors died or became violent after reporting that an unseen presence outside the hull kept trying to get in, though exhaustive inspections and instruments show nothing. Isolated routines, silent metal interiors, and the mismatch between empirical readings and subjective fear drive mounting paranoia as he searches every inch for an explanation. The narrative probes the effects of confinement and uncertainty, pitting disciplined scientific procedure against the human mind's response to the abyss.
