Pharos Keeper

In space, there are dark clouds known as “dark nebulae.” These clouds range in size and volume, much like the clouds in Earth's atmosphere. And just like their earthly counterparts, they can be dangerous to space travelers. But as humanity often does, it found a solution known as “Project Pharos.” The project involved a self-isolated station placed in the middle of the nebulae to warn off travelers and guide them through if truly necessary. These stations are operated by one person who is isolated for a year at a time. People have disappeared during this job, either because of madness or for some unknown reason. Our main character, Akir, is one of these pharos keepers, and we follow him through a year of isolation. Is space really that lonely?
