I Woke Up as Nobody
My mirror showed nothing, not even me. I stood in my hab’s dim light, fingers clawing at glass, expecting a crack, a glitch, anything. Just void. My name was Kael, or it used to be. I was a hacker, slicing data for corps in Neonspire’s undergrid. Now my reflection was gone, and my slate’s ID read blank. No face, no code, no proof I existed.

The Island That Forgot Time
My name is Torren, and I sail for scraps. The sea was my judge until the storm threw me onto this island. No name on my charts, just black glass shores under a sky of frozen silver. My watch stopped at 3:14, its hands stuck like a held breath. I waited for tides to shift, for gulls to cry, for anything to move. Nothing did. The air felt thick, as if time had quit and left me behind.

Ghost Signal from Tau Ceti
My name’s Jace, and I fly junk rigs for a living. Tau Ceti’s outer rim was my latest gig: scout a mined-out rock called Korrath for salvage. The job was routine until my nav pinged a signal. Not static, not a beacon, but a voice. My voice. Screaming “abort” from a ship ID matching mine, timestamped tomorrow. I throttled down, heart slamming. Korrath’s blue wasteland stretched below, its shattered cliffs glinting under a sick green sky. I was alone. No way that signal was real.

I Ghosted My Phone for a Week Here’s Why I’m Never Going Back. Content Warning.
It started with a dare. Zara, my girlfriend, caught me doomscrolling Instagram at 2 a.m., reels sucking my soul while I half-graded biology exams. “You’re glued to that thing,” she snapped, smirking. I was fried, teaching, broke, chasing likes to feel alive. So I bet her I could ghost my phone for a week. No Insta, no WhatsApp, nothing. She laughed, saying I’d crack by noon. I slammed my phone in a drawer, heart pounding like I’d ditched a limb. Seven days later, I’m done with Instagram for good. Check the pic, I smashed that life. Here’s why I’m never going back.
