Floating with the Stars

Summary:

A poem inspired by Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir, whose movie adaptation comes out March 2026.

Notes:

I literally still can't get over "fist my bump", it's become my new stim for a while lol

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

In the black void of distant space,
I wake up and don't see your face.
There's a really big leap I have to make,
For the future of the universe is at stake.

It sent us under, out of fear,
As I float here and shed a tear.
But I know this mission has to be done,
For this planet shines brighter than the sun.

Notes:
