Star Killer

~~~~ He never expected a planet trapped by light to be so dark. ~~~~

When the Stonce system's sun evolves into a red giant, it's remaining people must flee to the oceans floor for any chance of survival. No one can enter, and no one can leave. Deaths stakes are high, but are they high enough to deter a willfully determined boy as he tries to escape his past and the scars that he gained on the very planet that holds him captive?

Mekhi wishes to escape to the stars, but would the distance be enough to truly set him free?
