Aboard the deep-space ship Kaivalya, a diminutive triage officer named Dim spends endless months in quiet routine with only a purring cat and a shape-shifting companion called Someone for company.
What begins as wry banter about size, names, and the vast indifference of the cosmos slowly unravels into something far stranger—and far more final—when an impossible object changes everything.
A quiet, haunting first-contact tale about loneliness, utility, and what it means to disappear into something larger than yourself.
Narrated in full by the author.
If you like thoughtful sci-fi with emotional weight (think Ted Chiang meets cosmic unease), settle in with headphones.
What would you do if the universe finally noticed you?

The Future is Possible!
#scifi #sciencefiction #shortstories #shortscifi
Trapped in a brutal underground alien fight arena, a dazed human finds himself staring down a towering, slimy three-legged monster. The bloodthirsty crowd is screaming for violence… but the creature has a different plan.
What starts as a fight to the death quickly becomes something far more dangerous: an unlikely alliance and a desperate bid for freedom.
Raw, fast-paced sci-fi action with a killer twist.
If your only chance of survival was teaming up with the monster trying to kill you… would you take the deal?

Alone on the frozen edge of the solar system, technician Samosław Abrahamek tends a decaying outpost on Makemake. Years of solitude have made him comfortable with silence—until a distant Damocloid hurtles closer, and the station's loyal AI companion begins to unravel.
What starts as routine dust buildup becomes something far worse: a slow infection that corrupts systems, memories, and reality itself.
In this chilling sci-fi cosmic horror tale, isolation isn't the monster—it's the invitation.
Narrated by the author with eerie atmosphere and building dread. Perfect for fans of Lovecraftian voids, "The Thing," and slow-burn existential terror.
If you like stories where the universe doesn't care if you survive... hit play. But maybe keep the lights on.
What would you do if your only companion started forgetting who you are?

In the silence of deep space, the research vessel Olavia vanishes after brushing against something impossible.
Only one crew member returns: Dr. Monica Braden, alone on a rescue ship she never boarded. Now, in a buried interrogation room far beneath a distant world, she faces relentless questions about the lost crew, the anomaly, and what really happened in the moments after they left the tempinetic bubble.
But Monica is changing.
Memories surface that aren’t hers.
Secrets about her interrogators spill from her lips.
And with every passing hour, the line between her body and the universe begins to blur. Is she a survivor… or the first sign of something far greater? Discover “The Olavia Incident” — a haunting, character-driven science fiction tale of first contact, evolution, and the illusion of control.

#scifi #sciencefiction #shortstories #shortscifi
What if you could go back to your childhood home… and meet your father as a young man?
In Illyria, aging spacer Nuolan Archyn returns to the remote moon of Titania after forty years, only to find it exactly as he left it—frozen in time. The depot, the corridors, even the man who greets him… are all unchanged. When Nuolan comes face-to-face with his own father (decades younger than he is now), the line between memory, regret, and reality begins to blur.
A haunting sci-fi tale of second chances, missed opportunities, and the dangerous allure of hindsight—wrapped in Shakespearean echoes and a devastating twist.
If your older self suddenly appeared and offered you advice, would you listen—or would you make all the same mistakes anyway? Drop your answer below.

The Future is Possible!
#scifi #sciencefiction #shortstories #shortscifi
Trapped in an endless blue cold—like swimming inside a wave that never breaks—a xenobiologist tries to remember the moment everything changed. What began as first contact on a fairy-tale alien world ended with a strange vapor rising from slow-moving blue creatures… and a crew that would never truly leave the planet again.
Atmospheric, poetic, and quietly terrifying, “Vapor” explores what happens when discovery consumes the discoverer.
What would you do if the first truly alien life you found didn’t just change your understanding of the universe… but quietly erased who you were?
If this story stuck with you, drop a comment below: Would you rather never discover intelligent life, or risk becoming part of it forever?
