Transmission 014: Silence Gap

There was a longer silence than usual between signals. Not dangerous. Not ominous. Just… still.

I felt it more than heard it—the way you notice the absence of a fan that’s been humming for months. A quiet that makes you check the lights twice, just to confirm the world hasn’t gone out.

The ship wasn’t missing. It was resting. Maybe I was, too.
