What happens when power goes unchecked?
When memory refuses to die?
When love collides with technology, time, and regret?

An astronaut drifts above Earth as her oxygen runs out, replaying the last argument with the woman she may never see again.
Two friends detour into a Delta town haunted by disappearance and radio signals that shouldn’t exist.
A man rescues a drowning stranger only to discover he may have crossed into purgatory — and returned a century too late.
A time traveler kills a tyrant in childhood and becomes something worse.
A digital consciousness exposes a global trafficking ring after her own murder.
Synthetic beings question what it means to be human.
Families fracture. Lovers betray. Memory lingers.
Across these stories runs a single the vacuum.
The vacuum of space.
The vacuum left by grief.
The vacuum created when institutions fail.
The vacuum that forms when power replaces conscience.
Some characters fall into it.
Some build machines to escape it.
Some try to outrun it.
None emerge unchanged.
Blending speculative fiction, psychological realism, political tension, and intimate human drama, Lost Cause asks one relentless
