Found in Space

I stood on the exterior of the old station staring up at the stars. Yet another dark night alone, or was it daytime back there? All time measured by the clocks without sunrise or sunset. No points of reference anymore. I’m too far from home, too far gone and too many days till I can return. A silly idea but I brought the old cargo box I found floating outside yesterday. I clipped it to a nearby ring and stood on it, paying out my safety line. Now, I am 3 feet closer to home than I was yesterday.

Bliss...
