Staring Into the Infinite

Welcome to the observation deck. Staring Into the Infinite is a serialized sci-fi narrative tracking the unexplained mysteries of the high-desert sky. Framed as raw field logs from the off-grid isolation of the Deer Creek Retreat in Old La Sal, Utah, each story blends classic alien lore with zero-lux wilderness silence. Disconnect from the noise, look past Haystack Rock, and discover what happens when you stop scanning five-inch screens and start scanning the infinite.

Starry night sky above dark pine tree silhouettes, with a calm blue glow on the horizon.

The Midnight Visitor at the Tiny Home | Stargazing in Old La Sal, Utah

In an off‑grid tiny home above Old La Sal, a weary traveler comes for silence and stargazing in Old La Sal, Utah. At 3:00 AM, a low hum and an impossibly bright sky reveal a hovering craft over Haystack Rock. As an emerald beam pauses at the cabin door, the guest wrestles with awe, fear, and the sacred mystery of the desert night.
