Dark Matters

By Robert Trakofler

A man dies in a flash of light.
A stuffed bunny wakes in the ruins.
Only one of them remembers why.

After a catastrophic attack, Technical Sergeant Riley finds himself alive inside his daughter's toy rabbit-stitched, silent, and somehow bound to the forgotten physics of a collapsing world. His family is missing. His memories flicker like dying stars. And humanity is being hunted by shadow-like figures behaving less like monsters and more like errors in the universe itself.

As Bunny journeys across a ravaged, post-apocalyptic America, he discovers the shadows are tied to forces far older than human conflict-dark matter, information decay, and the strange mechanics of consciousness itself. With the help of Alfred, a reluctant survivalist, and Thalame, a mysterious observer awakening from a cathedral built of memory, Bunny begins to uncover a truth woven into the laws of energy, observation, and love.

Information never dies.
But something is trying to erase it.

Part post-apocalyptic adventure, part metaphysical science fiction, Dark Matters blends cosmic mystery with emotional depth-exploring what remains of us when the universe forgets, and what love becomes when it refuses to.

Perfect for readers of speculative fiction, science fantasy, dystopian survival stories, and cosmic, character-driven tales that ask not just how the world ends... but why it matters.
