Alone in the cloud so high!!!!!!!
It was a cruel joke!! A cruel cruel joke indeed!!!! Did they take him to be an abslolute fool?? He was after all the most famous astronaut the world had ever known. I mean who would have thought anyone would go see Pleathaus and come back to tell the tale? Come to think of it: he
somehow didnt feel at home anymore. He was back on earth, wasnt he? And the old man who claimed to be his son did indeed look a bit like him. He was getting delusional! I mean it had just been 10 years since he had left these shores on a trip towards glory and, well, fucking uncertainty. His marriage was on the rocks, his alchoholism and his womanizing were
taking its toll on the young astronaut and he had jumped at the idea of exploring Pleathus(4 light years away). A journey towards nowhere was exactly what his heart yearned for then!He had gone where no man had gone and returned!!! There wasnt much to see at Pleathus except maybe the weird formations of some of its mountains! But still he had experienced wonders no one here could even imagine!!He loved technology!! Coz technology was what had got him there!!!! When he returned, he found out that he had deserted technology. I mean he didnt know how things worked on earth anymore. People abused and laughed at him for being illiterate and also a bit mad. 10 years?? How can things change so dramatically in 10 years??? Why was his wife dead and his son 80 in 10 FUCKING YEARS??? He felt lost once again. He was indeed going mad!! The wistful eyes longed for the past as he pulled the trigger!!
He was ready for a journey again!

coz I hear this blog is more popular than slashdot nowadays :)
hahah quite squire!! Thanks a lot for that! Though I am sure you didnt even read the post!!
so damn abstract! way to go!
i just ran a scrapbook calculation with lorentz's equations. Dude, i think the 80 year old sun doesnt add up to 4 light years and a 10 year round trip. Gives me a speed faster than light :-)
Nice piece to read though!!!
a little like shawshank redemption too...
well thank you for that calculation!!I just wanted to make sure he went below the speed of light(4/5*c). I didnt really know how much 10 years of his life would be in Earth years. But thanks for that!
Also why do you think its shawshank redemption like??
where is ur funny story?
you know, like the guy who leaves shawshak after a lifetime and finds that the world has raced along and he can no longer blend in...
