The Stars, My Brothers

Fear of the past haunts the protagonist, particularly embodied in the entity known as Reed Kieran, which symbolizes a haunting presence linked to memories and unspoken truths. This entity, described as a "stiff blind voiceless thing," orbits like a satellite, serving as a reminder of lost worlds and the silence of space. The narrative explores themes of memory, fear, and the weight of history, as the character grapples with the shadows of what has come before.
