    Hello, I am Magnetar. I reside within the Void where space and time become indistinguishable. It is here, too, where I can hear tales from all across the multiverse. Tales of horror, future technologies, AI, Aliens, cosmic horror, world-ending catastrophes, apocalyptic events, space, and more.
    So, if you're brave, join me in the Void. Listen to their screams, their pleas, and their stories.
    But remember - Astrophobes be warned
    ----------------------
    What is a Magnetar?
    Magnetars are some of the most mysterious of all heavenly objects and only one in ten supernovae create these dense cosmic dynamos. Out of more than 3,000 neutron stars discovered to this date, only 31 total magnetars have been confirmed, making their strange existence extremely rare.

    Question, what was the song in the background? It's so soft and melancholic. I could listen to it for hours. It's perfect for this story.

    This is so beautifully written in comparison to the movie. The movie adaptation was surprisingly decent. I was kinda disappointed when I watched the movie the first time because my standards are based on my favorite movie of all time, "Interstellar", and the vibes I got from it was Carl Sagan's Contact updated to 2016. But after hearing it as a story, I have a bigger appreciation for it. Well done Mr. Chiang, and well delivered as usual Mag.
    Best wishes to the Astrophobic community.
