She wakes in the dark.
No memory. No history. Just the hum of dying metal, the bite of voracious cold, and a name: Liv.
The mining station on Europa was abandoned nearly fifty years ago. But something still breathes inside it; flickering lights, flooded corridors, echoes that don’t belong. And Rhea, the synthetic with a calm voice and empty eyes, always standing. Always watching. The only constant.
As Liv explores the frozen labyrinth, searching for power, escape, answers, she begins to believe the station isn’t as empty as it seems. Time has no meaning here. Shadows stretch. The metal whispers and groans. Something stirs.
A slow-burning sci-fi descent into isolation, memory, and the silent machinery of control, INSPICIO is a haunting novella of survival in the void—where even your own mind may not be safe.
