Kappa Paradox | Sci-fi Short Audiobook

"I’m in a very strange, archaic hospital, where they open your skull and give you brain damage, apparently."

This story has a "prequel" short. "Kappa Salvage"
This one should stand alone, but it may make a little more sense and be easier to follow if you check out that story first:

As always, thanks to Isaac Arthur and the SFIA team for the inspiring theme!
Based on the SFIA theme: "Absent Megastructures"
Video:    • The Fermi Paradox: Absent Megastructures  

If you prefer to read rather than listen, a PDF of the story formatted for tablets & e-readers is available on the story's page on my website linked below:

About this project: I am writing a weekly sci-fi story based on the theme of Isaac Arthur’s SFIA videos. It’s a crazy challenging timeframe to create a good short story in, and to do so publicly is even more daunting. I’m just hoping some good stories come out of this and I have fun writing them. So far so good, I think. Thanks for stopping by!
