He discovers that the region is not natural: the cityโ€™s own mass engine creates it while crushing the landscape behind and distorting time for communities left outside. Stopping the engine would end the devastation, but it would also expose the cityโ€™s inhabitants to decades of accumulated gravitational debt in a single instant. ๐Ÿ”— Official Links: The only place to get daily and bonus Galactic Horrors stories with no ads or interruptions is Patreon: ๐Ÿ“ก Join Patreon: https://patreon.com/GalacticHorrors Galactic Horrors stories are also available as eBooks on Amazon, with new releases every week: ๐Ÿ“š eBooks: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B0H2F5M2B3/allbooks If you enjoy the stories and want to support the channel directly, you can do so on Ko-fi: โ˜• (Ko-fi): https://ko-fi.com/galactichorrors ๐Ÿ“– Written by Galactic Horrors โš ๏ธ Content Ownership Notice All stories, artwork, thumbnails, and animations featured on this channel are original creations of Galactic Horrors.
