Void Drifter

Log 1

Day 1

It's my first week out here in the cold devoid blackness, and it's not as bad as I thought. It's quiet and roomy. I understand why people wanted to be astronauts now. I need food, I can't just live off of mac-n-cheese forever. Maybe I could start a garden like I always thought of. 

Day 6

A stray rock passed by today, it had something on it. I threw my hose at it. I ended up pulling it in. It had a tomato plant growing out of it. A lone traveler, a companion in a cold void. I transplanted it into my terracotta pot, to keep it warm, and alive instead of cold and alone as I was in my heart. I placed some trash that I had been meaning to get rid of, onto the rock and pushed it off. It would be alone in a void, moving forward for all of eternity. Unless it perhaps hit a rock or planet maybe, a relic of human wastefulness. 

Day 8

I decided to name my new companion, Dave T. It was a name of one of my colleagues. I always liked Dave, reliable, resourceful, responsible, caring, and quiet. He never really got in my way and was a good friend. Dave never complained, Dave T was the same like that. Dave T never spoke at all really, but his silence spoke volumes.

Day 9

I got to level 5 in Fallout 3. Dave T was there to encourage me the entire way. Dogmeat was just like Arkan, I cried a little inside. Seeing him again by a different name was sobering. A look into the past, a sad past with my current state of being. I was even sadder when Dogmeat died. A heartless raider shot him in the heart. I killed him and his entire band in pure rage. I was going to thrash my reality to bits but Dave T, showed me that thrashing isn't always the answer. His silence was profound. I fell asleep that night, thinking about where I was in the universe and how humanity thrashed the Earth they lived on.
