About this listen
n the quaint town of Eldridge, where the air is thick with the scent of pine and nostalgia, a veil of mystery drapes itself over the landscape like a silken shroud. The night sky, an endless canvas painted with shimmering stars, beckons to those who dare to dream. Here, in this enchanting realm where time seems to pause, young astronomer Jenny Hart stumbles upon an ancient telescope hidden away in her late grandfather's attic—a relic steeped in secrets and celestial whispers.
As she brushes off layers of dust that have settled like forgotten memories, intricate carvings emerge from the woodwork—celestial symbols that pulse with a life of their own. Each symbol tells a story, a fragment of knowledge waiting to be unveiled. When Jenny peers through the lens for the first time, she is thrust into a world beyond her imagination; the stars shimmer with an otherworldly glow, revealing alternate realities that flicker like fireflies on a summer's eve.
With each nightfall, Jenny embarks on a journey through these parallel lives—each glimpse offering her not just visions but echoes of herself intertwined with laughter and longing. She encounters vibrant versions of her soul—some filled with adventure and others cloaked in solitude—each life reflecting choices made and paths untraveled. In these fleeting moments under starlit skies, she meets Ethan—a kindred spirit whose presence ignites something deep within her heart—a connection that transcends dimensions yet leaves her yearning for clarity.
But as she delves deeper into this cosmic dance between love and regret, shadows from her past begin to rise like mist at dawn. Memories of Lucas—the childhood friend whose laughter once filled her days—linger in the corners of her mind like haunting melodies that refuse to fade. Torn between what was and what could have been, Jenny grapples with the weight of possibility; each reality offers its own allure while simultaneously unraveling threads woven into the fabric of her existence.
As storms brew both outside and within, Jenny finds herself at a crossroads where choices become burdensome yet necessary. The telescope transforms into more than just an instrument; it becomes a portal to self-discovery—a mirror reflecting not only who she is but who she might become if only she dares to embrace all facets of herself.
In this mystical journey through starlit realms filled with wonder and heartache alike, Jenny learns that true love is not merely about choosing one path over another but about understanding oneself deeply enough to forge ahead with conviction. As dawn breaks over Eldridge’s horizon—a new beginning illuminated by lessons learned beneath celestial bodies—she steps away from the telescope ready to embrace whatever future awaits.
"Starlite Secrets" weaves together threads of magic and reality as it explores themes of love, choice, and self-discovery against a backdrop rich in atmospheric detail. Each chapter invites readers into Jenny's world—a place where every star holds secrets waiting patiently for those brave enough to seek them out amidst swirling galaxies filled with dreams yet unfulfilled.

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Story
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Story
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Story
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Story
In the not-too-distant future, a 21-member crew launches from Earth. Their mission: to establish a temporary colony on Mars. Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes. Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.

Story
Fleeing college pressure, Jules heads home to rest, recharge, and figure out a plan before fall break ends. Eager to spend time with her mother and stepfather, there's one presence she's less thrilled about seeing: Red. The sentient, smirking pitcher of Cherry Chill-Assist Punch was a huge pain in the glass. He'd been getting under her skin for two years now, ever since their parents' wedding day. Red's taste in entertainment and weirdly suggestive commentary were driving her crazy, a destination she was capable of finding all on her own.

Story
Jack Jensen is a middle-aged nobody who lives a lackluster life in an even more uninteresting town. Having sampled every job the small town of Merrill, Wisconsin has to offer, he has excelled at nothing but growing his beer gut and his luxurious curly, chestnut brown hair. His life is one of unrealized potential and lack of direction. Things change one morning when his brother, an Army Major, lands his helicopter in the parking lot of Jack’s less-than-profitable gaming store.
