A cosmic AI, a forgotten dog, and a failing podcaster get in touch.
What happens when the universe finally answers and you’re not ready?
Ethan Rowden is a failing podcaster with twenty-three subscribers, a garage full of broken radios, and a talent for spiraling at 3 AM.
Then the static talks back.
A cosmic intelligence calling itself Nova-7 claims she’s building an Archive of consciousness. And she’s chosen Ethan as her witness.
The first transmission? Laika, the Soviet space dog from 1957. She did not return from space.
Ethan hears her last thoughts, her confusion, and the heartbreaking trust she carried into the stars. But the universe doesn’t hand out proof. And when Ethan shares what he heard, the internet calls him a liar.
A quirky, surreal, emotional sci-fi novella about cosmic frequencies, forgotten beings, and what it means to be truly heard.
