Aurora Lane is a writer, a journalist drawn to the edges of human experience, someone who believes distance sharpens truth. When the opportunity comes to leave Earth for a distant colony world, she sees not escape, but a once-in-history story. The journey will take over a century, but for the passengers aboard the Avalon, time is meant to vanish. In hibernation, they will sleep through the long transit and wake unchanged at their destination, while everything else moves on without them. The Avalon is a vast interstellar vessel carrying thousands of colonists and the foundations of a new civilization. Its systems are automated, designed to run flawlessly for decades without human intervention, maintaining life, structure, and course in the quiet emptiness of space. It is built to feel less like a machine and more like a world—comfortable, controlled, and self-sustaining. Aurora chooses this path knowing she will never return. Everyone she has known will be gone when she arrives. That finality is part of the appeal. She wants to document the birth of a new society, to turn isolation into meaning through her writing. Beneath her ambition is a quiet loneliness, one she rarely acknowledges. Encased in her hibernation pod, her body is held in perfect stillness, her mind suspended. Time disappears completely—years slipping by without sensation or awareness as the ship continues its silent journey. Then something goes wrong. Her pod malfunctions. The awakening is abrupt and disorienting, light and sensation crashing in after nothingness. The lid opens with no ceremony, no crew waiting, no explanation. She gasps into the silence of the ship, conscious far too early. Around her, the Avalon continues undisturbed, vast and indifferent, as Aurora Lane finds herself awake and alone on a journey she was never meant to experience.
