The universe doesn't speak in words. It speaks in patterns. In pauses. In almosts.

It is a vast, uncharted manuscript its pages inked with stars, its margins filled with invisible threads of meaning. Some call it fate. Others pass it by. But the universe moves quietly, orchestrating connections, pulling lives into orbit... and sometimes, letting them drift apart.

Joseph noticed. He believed the universe was speaking to him - through signs, through timing, through everything left unsaid.

The Stars Refuse to Align is a short, poetic story about love, cosmic obsession, and the ache of unfinished destinies. It's for anyone who has looked up at the night sky and wondered if it's watching back.

A quiet story. A loud afterthought. The kind of love the stars forget - or remember too late.
