Often, it starts with a shift in belief a new truth that quietly dismantles the old order.

Dust Between Stars
The sky did not blink. It watched. Liora stood alone on the dead plain, dust swirling weakly around her boots. There was no wind. No sound. Only the silent stretch of stars—and the impossible black sphere hovering in their midst, rimmed by faint fire. It was not a moon. It was absence. A hole punched in the fabric of space.
