"200 days since I've landed. I really am the only one left. I keep on searching and searching, thinking eventually there'll be at least one last person, one last anything, but it's just me, the ground, and the dust."
"There is one other thing, I suppose. This ship. It's also one of the other things left, from before anything I make now. Like the trees and grass. They are new. The dust, the earth, me, and this ship. We're old. I don't know how old the dust is, but it's from before, and it won't go away, that's for sure."
"So those are the remnants left. Sometimes, I think I hate the ship. Even more than I hate being so alone. Because I blame the ship for making me so alone."
"After all, I didn't want to go through that black hole. Knocked off course. Fell through it, ending up here, far away from the world I know. From the places I remember. The people I cared for."
"But the ship didn't mean to put me here. How could it? It's not smart enough to hate. But it's easy to blame it. I want to hate something, to put the fault at someone or something's feet."
"So I blame the ship."
"Even though it was just an accident."
"A mistake."
