The Spaceman

Older than all the known stars June watched the universe turn. He watched too as the old gods failed. Now he is tired and beset with doubt his effort wasted his strength to hold back the tide of indifference diminished. But with allies and enemies gathering and those with loyalties beyond his understanding he commits to change. <br>Against the old order change will be hard. There will be pain before the fruit of his sacrifice is known. But into the ash and darkness and into fear he places hope. It is a hope that will given its time bring enlightenment a hope that will bring relief and a hope that will bring an enduring steadfast kindness. <br>Maybe in time then the curtain will fall.
