In the chilling aftermath of a cosmic reset, the Triangulum Galaxy stands alone – a solitary beacon of life in a vast, black expanse where a previous universe inexplicably vanished. For eons, its inhabitants, the last sentient beings, have adapted to this profound isolation, turning inward to survive, convinced they are the sole flicker against an infinite nothingness. The overwhelming stillness, a quiet despair, defines their existence.
But then, a miracle: The Relic of Green. An impossible, petrified tree, an intergalactic voyager captured by Triangulum’s pull, carrying faint gravitational echoes from the very edge of their perceived cosmos. Was it a divine message? A discarded artifact? A warning? Its arrival shatters their hard-won peace, igniting fervent faiths, intellectual purism, and militant paranoia, tearing the galaxy apart from within.
As Triangulum descends into civil war, consuming its precious resources in a desperate "Mimicry Cycle" to replicate the Relic's alien resilience, a new, unimaginable horror begins. The galaxy itself starts to tilt, stars are violently ejected, and half of Triangulum begins to slip beneath the other in a slow, agonizing subduction. Their scientific endeavors fail, their societies crumble under a pervasive "Grey Sickness," and their very identity erodes in a desperate gamble for survival.
The ultimate truth, however, is far more terrifying than any imagined threat. Triangulum's universe never truly vanished. It merely aged, making way for a new creation. But this new universe was stillborn, failing to unfurl over the old, instead slanting downward, dragging Triangulum with it. Unbeknownst to its desperate inhabitants, their galaxy had become a cosmic Atlas, holding the dying universe above in place. The Relic was no message, no weapon, but an accidental voyager from a previous, similar cycle, a silent witness to the universe's indifferent, eternal dance of birth and death.
STILLBORN is a profound and haunting journey into the ultimate cosmic horror: not of invasion or malevolence, but of overwhelming, indifferent scale. It is a story of a civilization pushed to its breaking point, forced to confront the terrifying truth that their struggles, hopes, and ultimate annihilation are but a fleeting tremor in the silent, perpetual unfolding of existence.
