Floating Away is a poignant tale about the life of a young man named Jason who reflects upon critical moments in his life after he's presented a unique opportunity to go back in time a precious few hours... But at what cost? Memories burst through his mind like a flood, reminding him of some of the most joyful times in his life. As the course of time twists on through his mind, though, he eventually makes his way to a darker zone in his mind in which much darker memories reside; heartbreak, loneliness and emotional instability. Finally the memories tie into the present, in which Jason is faced with the most difficult decision of his life. Floating Away explores a few concepts common to most of humanity, but makes particular focus on emotionally impacting subjects like heartbreak, as well as abstract ideas like nostalgia. An attempt is made to convert abstract emotion and expressionless feeling into words and phrases; all while keeping an almost dreamlike air of melancholy floating in the atmosphere. This is an experimental piece, communicated primarily through a first-person expository narrative coupled with tangentially related poetry. That's the official preface that I've got thus far. If you continue reading, you'll engage the portion of the introduction that contains more specifics on how this is being written and how your input could have influence on it. Basically, at its current state, this entire piece is subject to change at any moment without warning; you have been warned (wait what?) Due to the fluid nature of the this story, your input could have large impact on how its written. I already have the general idea for how I want it to end (It's based on a dream I had), but as for how we get there is still flexible. I want to make this good, and not awkward or insincere, so if you find a portion that just doesn't work, let me know and I'll revise. Otherwise, all the general things like pacing and flow are easy to modify, so let me know! Thanks!

When you're forced to mask Reality with Fantasy. The lifted layers finally unveil the tombstone of self. The biggest cities into the tiniest pebbles The massive ideas and thoughts formed into merely something to fear. A protagonist who already forgot his name Remembers He is a Daydreamer. Which is the only way to cope with life after multiple tragedies. And the fraud on fake friends faces. Only to daydream. As losing touch takes a toll on that rotting indulgence slowly. This get's quite horrific as it goes on. It's not to enjoy but to reflect on and experience. I decided to publish the draft version, because I don't think I can fully finish YWAADD final edition any time soon. I am in the worst mental and emotional state ever. It's quite a struggle and I suffer heavily. So yeah, the polished draft kind of holds up aswell too. The final one is way longer and eventful. So, um yeah I don't expect this to get attention at all, it's kind of really mid in some parts. But enjoy, or don't I guess. Yes this was inspired by Everywhere At The End Of Time. And other fan projects.
