Never Meant To Wake

I woke up inside the Persephone. Alone. Cold. Surrounded by frost-etched cryopods-sealed, silent, and wrong. I don't remember boarding this ship. I don't remember anything.

The lights flicker, gravity stutters, and the corridors shift when I'm not looking. Something's broken deep inside the ship's core-and it's not just the machinery. Helios, the ship's AI, whispers through the static with a voice that knows too much and reveals too little. I don't trust it. I don't trust myself.

Every step I take feels like retracing a path I've walked before. Every scream I hear echoes from somewhere-or someone-I can't reach. Time folds here. Reality distorts. And the message carved into the ice, looping endlessly in my mind, won't let me go: It was never meant to end this way.

But I have to find the truth... before the ship finds me first.

Never Meant To Wake is a claustrophobic descent into isolation, memory, and cosmic dread-a sci-fi horror story where survival means unraveling the lies, or becoming one of them.
