New project.

So, you may have noticed in my the word adrifter pop up here and there on facebook in a few lyrics etc. I have decided to make adrifter into the Adrifter, and he will a character representing hopelessness and redemption, though not the same person every time. Think of it as a title. (The Adrifter is the main character in the Jonah EP ) Along with this decision came with a new story and a new person given the title of Adrifter.

A man is on an exploration mission to the moons of Mars. While outside the ship doing routine maintenance a malfunction with the life support kills the rest of the crew, including the Adrifter's wife, instantly and destroys his ability to radio home. Unable to realistically and emotionally handle carrying out the mission, he sets off towards Earth. The power in the ship depletes extremely prematurely as so much was taken up repairing life support, so the man boards and escape pod. After one week, to ensure maximum survival time so as to hopefully be found, he diverts all power to life support and the SOS beacon, so he is left essentially to drift back to Earth. During his time drifting he contemplates his life thus far and his probable imminent death. He also remembers his wife and the crew, and their premature deaths. His oxygen slowly depletes and he slips into unconsciousness accepting death. Very soon afterwards he is picked up by a transport ship and is returned to Earth, though awarded medals for his bravery, he wrestles with suicide and does not know whether it is better to live or die at this point. How it ends is left open.

Why open? I want people to decide for themselves, given the circumstances, which is better: life or death?

So I will devoting time to finishing up the Jonah project and this new project tentatively titled "Adrfiter II: The StarFarer"
