The Rogue Astronaut

It started at the end, in more ways than one.
        
My whole life, I’d dreamed of going into space. Did everything to make that come true. When the call came through from NASA, I couldn’t stop smiling for weeks. Completed my training, boarded the shuttle, launched into space. Flew so high, into the stars, up to the International Space Station. Got there, to the point that my whole life had been building towards, to the moment I had dreamed of since I was a kid, and, heck, I was still basically just a kid. And that was that. Mission accomplished. Or so I thought.
        
Because that was the moment that everything changed.
