Walking to Aldebaran

Gary Rendell, a seasoned astronaut, finds his childhood dream transformed into a waking nightmare after a mission to the Oort Cloud goes catastrophically wrong. Tasked with investigating a monumental, enigmatic alien artifact, his team is tragically separated, leaving Rendell marooned within an impossible labyrinth of shifting, non-Euclidean tunnels. Stripped of his crew and dwindling resources, he navigates an environment that defies physics and reason, all while being relentlessly hunted by an unseen, terrifying entity. This isn't just a tale of survival against the elements; it's a descent into psychological horror as Rendell grapples with extreme isolation, the disintegration of his sanity, and the chilling realization that the 'artifact' is far more alive and malicious than anyone could have imagined. His desperate struggle to escape is a claustrophobic journey through an alien hellscape, where every turn could lead to salvation or a gruesome end.
