This is a 5 part story with an epilogue at the end. It is EXTREMELY close to my heart and as it progresses the end, you'll see that it is unique.

I beseech you to read all 5 + 1 (epilogue) poems (text) in connection to this story.

The Abandoned Astronaut - The Jump

Shaken we are, utterly confused
This portion of spectrum has never been used
Gamma Ray Bursts with malevolent breath
Like the metaphorical voice of literal death

It's making me drowsy, making me still
My body is numb, my mind thrilled
A surge in activity of Pineal, in me
This signal is giving me ecstasy

At the command of the speed of space
Where light goes to die, a traceless death
I bring you the fruits of my Dyson Sphere
Just come to the origin of my feed, you hear

With the weight of 7 billion curious hearts
Of a species which dreams to rule the stars
Five tough souls decided to sacrifice light
Learning at the cost of their eternal dark plight

To step into space reserved only for Immortals till now
These fleeting animals choose to collaborate with the perfect stranger
To cover an infinite landscape
