Missing home.

[Whirligig Girl]

[bob Kerman here. Any news on a rescue mission?]

[sorry Bob. We still don't have the funding. Try to stay calm]

beep beep beep bee--

[satellite is going out of range Bob, we'll try to get a relay through the Wernher Telescope is a few weeks.]

Sigh.

I left at Three minutes past the Hour, last year.

And I'm waiting constantly, trying to stay sane here.

I don't understand those bureaucrats.

Don't they see a person up here?

When I look up on a clear night

I see how rightful I was to fright.

I see a pale blue dot

and I'm not...

Sure I can stay.

You don't know what it's like to be stuck here.

staying in this pod for over a year.

I wonder what has happened back home since I left.

Has my girlfriend married, and has she died?

Do you think they'd even tell me?

What about Bill, and Jeb?

What's going through their head

Do they miss me at all?

Why can't Congress just see?

Why won't they listen to the facts.

I did the math

There's no reason they can't send up a mission back.

They just want us to look bad!

It gets colder and colder with each passing day.

But a day isn't what you may

think it's length should be.

I am going totally mad.

No physical contact.

I am seeing things.

I can't stand it!

When can I come home?

Bob's eyes droop

I'm not coming home at all, am I?

My legs are thin

My arms aren't then!

I won't go on like this.

I'm going out.

My suit's got no air.

Getting out of this chair.

This camera will show them my fate.

To my friends, the bureaucrats and my mate.

I'm going out now.

I've already taken this vow.

I can see the ship.

The green, the yellow, the red lights glowing.

COLOR.

You know what they'll write about my dead body's roam?

"He just realized he's not coming home."

D-did....you j-just... write a backstory for a steam card?

Mind = blown

But on a serious note, holy cow. That is beautiful. You, sir, just never stop being awesome.
