   Summary

   “H-hail, Mary, full of g-grace,”

   I don’t want to die alone. Not like this. Not stuck on my metal coffin, drowning in Hell.

   “the L-lord is with th-thee.”

   Please. If there’s anyone out there, in this big, cruel and empty universe. If God truly exists and is not just a story called in desperation, if He exists outside of lies, please.

    

   Don’t let me die as I’ve lived.

   ───────

   “Blip-A Detected”

   Or,

   Simon, somehow, ends up in another universe where stars still exist and there aren't any blood moons, and Grace finds a strange, mutated man, stranded and dying in space. As food dwindles, will Grace be able to fix it, before it's too late? As dreams become more vivid, will Simon's past catch up with him in this universe, too?
   Maybe there isn't such a thing as a coincidence. A God's hunger for more can't be stopped. It will always search for more, until light and darkness are one and the same.
