Starving Infinity

Dr. Maggie Nixon never wanted to be a prophet. She just wanted the truth.

When the reclusive mathematician discovers a prime-numbered pattern etched into the fabric of reality, her proof rocks the world: the universe is a simulation. But her breakthrough comes at a cost. A neon-green timer manifests in her vision, ticking down from 79 hours. Governments brand her a liar. Cultists hail her as a messiah. And her estranged brother begs her to recant, terrified she’s inherited their father’s delusions.

But the truth is worse than anyone imagines.

The timer isn’t a countdown to deletion—it’s a digestion cycle. The universe is a fractal, an endlessly hungry entity that consumes realities to survive. By proving its artificiality, Maggie has triggered its rebirth: every living mind will dissolve into data to fuel a new cosmos. To stop it, she must erase her consciousness, trapping humanity in an ignorant loop. To allow it means sacrificing every memory, every love, every fragment of self.

Now, at the edge of oblivion, she faces a choice—sacrifice her existence to freeze time, or trust the next version of herself to break the cycle.

A mind-bending thriller where reality is recursive and survival is a paradox, The Starving Infinity asks: What if the only way to save eternity is to starve it?
