Transmission #012: “Even the Stars Go Quiet”

Filed under: WTTQ Channel 10 Late Night Reflections
Sometimes even the aliens make you feel alone.

They hover nearby, radiant and kind, but unreachable in their glow, always translating, never quite touching. They laugh in frequencies too high to hear, and when you wave, they shimmer like heat above sand.

At Area 52, isolation doesn’t come from distance; it comes from wavelength. You can be surrounded by light, motion, voices, and still feel like a static channel in a sea of color.

Anjelikka once confessed to the microphone in the observation dome,

“They mean well, I think. They don’t know what loneliness is not the way we do. They mistake it for silence.”

Dr. Parallax believes the aliens sense our solitude but interpret it as “low signal strength.” When they detect it, they beam music fractured, looping melodies that echo through the glass corridors like lullabies meant for a species that’s forgotten how to sleep.

Sometimes the wolves pause their patrols and listen. Their eyes dim to gray. For a moment, the air feels softer, and the loneliness less sharp, as if the aliens, the wolves, and the watchers are all trying to understand the same quiet ache.

At WTTQ, we call it the Blue Hour Transmission, the sound that occurs when no one’s speaking, but everything’s listening.
