Echoes of Home

By GenAI Gemini and Ryan Fitzgerald

Stranded on the crimson-skied Kepler-186f for twenty agonizing years, the last remnants of humanity cling to a crumbling existence within the Aethelgard colony. Hope hinges on Dr. Elara Vance's desperate attempts to restore a long-range communicator, a fragile lifeline to Earth. But this alien world is not the indifferent refuge they believed. A pervasive hum, unsettling whispers carried on the wind, and the unnerving dance of bioluminescent flora hint at a terrifying truth: Kepler-186f is alive.

As Elara pushes closer to re-establishing contact, the planet stirs, its ancient, sentient consciousness awakened and angered by their desperate cries into the void. What begins as subtle interference escalates into a malevolent, targeted assault, dismantling the colony piece by piece-and mind by mind. With their technology failing, their sanity fraying, and the very ground beneath them turning hostile, the colonists face a horrifying choice: escape the impossible, or be absorbed into the planet's vast, alien intelligence.

Echoes of Home is a chilling sci-fi horror journey into the depths of isolation, fear, and the terrifying realization that humanity is not alone-and some company is worse than none at all.
