[Beginning of transmission]

  We are in a vacant galaxy. Dark as spilled ink unbroken by star or planet.

  This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.

  The newly constructed emptiness is being sold to investors.

  Bit by bit, they will develop it. This space will be full of life one day.

  Right now, it is just … nothing.

  The void in a busy universe. Beautiful to me for its silence.

  Beautiful to others for the promise of what is to be.

  Infinite wonder. Hope. New life. Anything is possible in this space.

  Anything … except the opportunity to remain empty.
