Longevity

"Longevity" by Therese Windser is a science fiction story set in a destroyed future, where remnants of civilization and a fabled lost land serve as reminders of humanity's past, exploring ideas of hope, discovery, and the price of a history forgotten. On a ship called the Semilunis, Captain Hinrik and his crew journey across dangerous lands to find the west continent, believed to vanished after a horrible disaster. The expedition reveals a desolate world with strange, glowing areas. Their search leads them to a cave containing black monuments, left by an old society, and they soon discover symbols that suggest a hidden vault, implying past life on the continent, ending with a feeling of regret for a lost world.
