A novel by mFLO618 · Book 1 of Dive Into Light-Space · 24 chapters.
They say the universe is mostly empty space, a void between stars, a gap between atoms. But when you lose the person who made the world make sense, that emptiness gets heavy. It gets loud. It takes a sneeze, a collision, and a complete breakdown to realize: the math is wrong. The void isn't empty. It's waiting.
Watch the 25-second storyThe universe, apparently,
has questionable timing.

She was trying to get through one more support ticket.
Six months after her father's funeral, Alyss is an IT technician with a dog named Noah, a backlog of support tickets, and a private affinity for the emptiness between stars. Then curiosity interrupts.
