Time and the Woman

In the cold silence of deep space, a woman fights the one enemy no technology can defeat: time itself. Ninon has boarded a faster-than-light vessel not for adventure, but for redemption. She knows the ship's revolutionary engines can bend temporal reality, and she will use that knowledge to steal back the youth she believes defines her worth. Her companion is Robert, a young spaceman unaware of the older woman's true design. As the miles between Earth and nowhere stretch infinite, Ninon's obsession tightens its grip. She manipulates, she schemes, she reaches for something that was never hers to take. But space has a way of exposing truths we bury in ourselves. What begins as a desperate woman's quest for beauty becomes something far darker: a reckoning with what we sacrifice chasing the impossible, and the terrible loneliness of those who refuse to accept who they are.
