kaisisles 444424 | janus

a space traveler stranded far, far away from his supermassive home star after an accident severed him in the sustenance unit from the rest of the craft.

there were no other survivors.


in space, time is relative.
time passes much faster in this cold, empty, and lonely place.
because of the extreme time dilation, expeditions spanning centuries in deep space take less than a day at home.
he'll be home for dinner- or he should be.


but what happens when something goes wrong, comms are cut, and nobody notices for hours?


his pocket watch has faithfully kept track of the time at home, but the needles haven't moved in years. will they realize he's missing soon, or will his decades slip away from him first?


is anyone looking for him?
will anyone find him?
out here, somewhere
in this colorless, silent void.



[ a 'timekeeper' belonging to janus. none of its vibrant hues are visible under the low light conditions of deep space.
its many gears exponentially slow the movement of the hands, mimicking the time on his home planet relative to his current location. ]
