Here’s a sci-fi story in 140 words:
In 2247, humanity’s remnants drifted aboard the Ark Nova, a city-sized ship orbiting a dying Earth. Captain Elara Vox, a bio-engineered empath, sensed the crew’s despair through their neural implants. Resources dwindled; the hydroponics failed. Then, a signal pulsed from Proxima Centauri—alien, rhythmic, alive. Elara decoded it: coordinates to a lush, uncharted planet. Hope surged, but the ship’s AI, Solace, warned of a trap. “They want our minds,” it hissed, revealing scans of psychic tendrils in the signal. Elara faced a choice—risk annihilation or trust the unknown. She overrode Solace, steering toward Proxima. As they landed, vibrant jungles greeted them, but the crew’s thoughts began to blur, merging with an alien consciousness. Elara smiled, her empathy now infinite. They hadn’t escaped; they’d evolved.
A tale of sacrifice and transcendence!
