Why I Wrote Senia Echoes
Time never stops. It moves forward…relentless, unforgiving, but it never lets us forget. The past lingers. Some moments fade, but others stay etched in our minds like scars that refuse to heal. I’ve seen people come and go. Some left their mark in ways I’ll cherish forever. Others left wounds that time could never erase.
Friends come and go...But the ones you loved?
When they’re gone… they’re gone...And you never see them again.
But that’s the thing about time right?…It just doesn’t wait for anyone. It shapes us, bends us, turns us into something we never expected to become.
I think about this often…how we can’t rewrite the past. No matter how much we wish we could go back, fix the mistakes, say the things we left unsaid, or stop certain events from happening, we can’t. And we can’t jump forward to reassure ourselves that everything will be okay, either. Life doesn’t work that way.

But what if it did?
What if time wasn’t just slipping through our fingers…but waiting to be claimed? What if it was alive…an entity drifting through space, untouchable, unknowable? What if, instead of being at its mercy, we could bend it, shape it, see what lies ahead? What would you change? Who would you warn? Would you tell your younger self not to make the same mistakes? Would you look your future self in the eyes and ask if everything turned out okay?

That was the thought that sparked Senia Echoes.
I imagined time as something greater than us…something vast, unrelenting, maybe even unstoppable. A force that dictates everything yet remains just out of reach. And then I asked myself: What if you could control it? What if time itself became a war?
In Senia Echoes, time isn’t just an abstract concept, it’s a battlefield. The ultimate weapon. Some, like Vastra and Celyx, crave its power, believing that whoever holds time controls fate itself. Others, like Elise Voss, understand that some things should never be touched…that power like this should never fall into the wrong hands. She’s not just fighting to survive…she’s fighting to stop something that should never be unleashed.
I wanted to write a story that wasn’t just about science fiction but about what it means to be human. Because time isn’t just science…it’s emotion, it’s memory, it’s pain, it’s love. It’s the things we long for and the things we can never get back.
It’s the choices we make and the ones we regret.
I see life like a cinematic drama…each of us walking onto a stage, playing our part, caught in a story bigger than ourselves. Some moments feel like they’ll last forever, but they don’t. People leave. Friends disappear. And time moves on, leaving only echoes behind.
That’s why Senia Echoes matters to me. It’s not just a story…it’s a reflection of everything I’ve felt, everything I’ve questioned. It’s my way of confronting the reality that time will always win.
But maybe, just maybe, there’s a part of us that can fight back. A part that refuses to be erased.

Because in the end, time may move forward…but some echoes never fade.
