The Aether of Gilgamesh

We present a science fiction story that spans thousands of years, from the earliest known human writings to what may be humanities last hope: the singularity.

When an American HAM radio operator intercepts an anomalous frequency that narrates an alternative version of the Epic of Gilgamesh, he stumbles onto a transmission from an impending Cold War in another reality. Meanwhile, the Captain of a sunken submarine, trapped in a dark and quiet tomb beneath the waves, makes a desperate promise in exchange for his life. As the two narratives intertwine, they embark on a suspenseful mission to aid a 'Future Gilgamesh' in his quest for harmony, bridging the divine and the human, and potentially averting a catastrophic conflict. It's a gripping tale of survival, redemption, and the timeless struggle for balance, resonating through the echoes of history and the ripples of alternate realities.
