High in the Andes, a remote satellite array is tasked with an unusual project: mapping the empty space between orbiting satellites. Not the machines themselves, but the gaps they leave behind as they move through the sky.
At first, the work is routine. Data streams in. Patterns emerge. Then the gaps begin to shift on their own.
The empty spaces form shapes that shouldn't exist. Sound behaves strangely inside the facility, stretching and echoing where no echo should be. A color appears on the monitors that no camera can record. Static carries rhythm. Silence carries meaning.
As the team investigates, reality inside the array starts to bend. Memories blur. Time slips. One researcher vanishes in open daylight. Another begins carving impossible geometry into her own skin, convinced the gaps are speaking.
At the center of it all are Evan and Lena, partners in work and in life. Evan believes every problem has an explanation. Lena feels something watching them-something ancient that lives between signals, between numbers, between faith and mathematics. And the more she listens, the more certain she becomes that the gaps aren't empty at all.
They are an intelligence.
The Sky Between Satellites is an atmospheric cosmic horror story about isolation, belief, and the terrifying idea that the universe is not silent-only waiting for the right pattern to be noticed. What answers back may not be a voice... but a place for humanity to fit.
