A Human Condition:
This is a character-driven, atmospheric work of speculative fiction exploring the boundaries of isolation and the resilience of the human mind. Where time loses meaning and function becomes identity.

The tasks on the ship's hull are a break from monotony. The sun visits -- or something that resembles what the sun gives -- on the edge of the solar wing. They spend time together, in the embraces of space where sound cannot travel. Content. How does this enclosed terrarium react to the encroaching past and present?Complete
