The Departure | A Sci Fi Story | audio | written by Nik Hein

In the distant future, humans will no longer be the masters of Earth. They live in a few Towers scattered across the vast ocean, and the world is ruled by the Grey Swimmers, a mysterious new race that has taken over the baton of civilization from humans.
Mankind is gradually degenerating, and a sad end is inevitable, but help comes from a completely unexpected source. The powerful galactic Empire Algol intervenes in the situation.

00:43:46 Caravan to the Algol Empire
*****
These two sci-fi stories have an interesting history. They appeared as my intellectual and emotional response to the musical dilogy of the sci-fi electronic project called Neptune Towers, two albums of which are called, as you probably already guessed, Caravans to Empire Algol and Transmissions from Empire Algol. I won't recommend them directly because it's experimental music, not to everyone's taste, but you can easily find them if you want to ). It seems like my tradition of stories "inspired by music" continues; soon, I will be able to compile a new collection of such stories.
Regarding the order in which to listen to this two-pack. I uploaded the files according to the internal chronology of stories, but if you prefer the order of writing and my author's ideas about the project's development, then start listening from the second story, Caravan. If you've already heard it, you can limit yourself to Transmissions.

Well, that was depressing, but ridiculously well told.
You don’t do sequels often but this time, the story almost cries out for one.

[@nikhein]

Well, this time it was a prequel ) But there's possibility of the third story here. About 50% ))))

I included you in one of my stories. A character of mine named Sean mentioned you as one of his favorite CZcams videos among with Horrorbabble. He is trying to write stories as good as you and Ian Gorden .

Thank you! It's so nice to receive comments like this. Sometimes, I'm getting really frustrated by the amount of low-quality generated stuff that is literally overflowing my stories, making it really hard for the audience to reach me. I really appreciate your reply!
