A LEAP IN THE FUTURE

Hello, this is my story, I am someone normal that reaches fame at 23 years old I am a very famous actor in this year of course, there is a lot of fun in this year 3500 unfortunately for me, I see my end, I am heading on a space trip, for this date humanity reached space travel I am heading to jupiter it was discovered that there are some habitable parts for humanity right now the technology is very advanced and I am in a luxurious galactic cruiser heading to that planet, I am currently 35 years old, but I am empty, here now I am close to the exhaust pipe to launch myself into space and die I don't know maybe I have everything there is nothing more to reach now there is only jumping, I slept with women, I got high, I thought only of myself and the party seems to be coming to an end today.

After thinking about it for a while, I pressed the escape button and shot out into space, I started to suffocate immediately, I felt cold and I was starting to swell and I was embracing death and it is true what they say, I started to see my life in front of my eyes, I saw how little I managed to play when I was a kid because I dedicated myself to acting, my parents were one of those people who wanted their children to follow in their footsteps, I did not enjoyment nothing of my life as a child, just when I started to die, out of nowhere it was activated like a lifesaving device that I had on my chest in the shape of a small circle, a kind of energy field appeared around my whole body, I started to warm up and I was already breathing, I completely forgot about this device, well it's like a button they put on you when you get on the boat, after a little while a small screen was activated in front of my eyes, he told me how long I would have on oxygen and how long it would last, the suit is annoying, I didn't die instantly, now I will be abandoned in space for 5 hours until I suffocate, floating in the vacuum of space.

It's been 30 minutes and I'm still floating in this immense space, thanks to heaven I can still be sane, since this silence is chilling, I don't know where the space current takes me a minimum movement and I change my trajectory, now maybe it's the dark infinity of space and this infernal silence, but I start to see things apart from the small stars that are seen in the distance, in one of these visions I thought I saw my father screaming at me as always, but this time I was scared, I had a horrible zombie appearance and I think my mind is falling into madness.

Another half hour has passed, I am anxious, I don't know what to do, I only have to cry, now I thought I saw a snake pass by, but in space? it's crazy, I know, I don't know if it was a reflex, but I saw a meteorite approaching me and by instinct I moved just enough to avoid it, I don't know what happened to me, I wanted to die, but I avoided that great opportunity, I don't know what I want anymore.

One more hour has passed and I'm already drooling, I despair to see that damn clock indicating when I'm going to die, I started to remember what I went through when I was on earth, when I was free from my parents, at last I could have a life being now pending only for me, I couldn't be a child at all, they took everything from me for this supposed dream life, I had everything and remembering how I passed with pride for the poor people in the streets I started to think that I should not have done that, I remembered when I behaved badly with some admirers I should not have done that, nothing matters at this point, I am going to die in a few hours.

It's been 1 more hour and I have only 2 hours left it's annoying I started to sing a song that was in fashion a long time ago I heard it in my great great grandfather's old stuff I really liked the lyrics it was rad from a famous rapper from years ago from life as a movie or something like that it was called, while I was singing I saw a black shadow slowly approaching me, I didn't see it well, but it became very clear when it was close to me, I started to see the stars in the distance the space was getting clearer how strange I thought, in the distance I saw a huge black hole, how do I know? I saw it as if it was a donut in the distance and we know that in space not everything is what it seems, by some articles I read I could know approximately how big that thing was, now returning to the shadow that approached me I an scared it was like a person wrapped in a robe, something like the death we all know, but this person had skin it was not a skeleton I thought it was a drifting body like me, since he was totally covered by that black cloth that looked like silk, I could only see his face when he suddenly opened his eyes I was scared tremendously, I heard a somber voice that said why was he here? He asked me the same question several times, already resigned I answered that it was because of my own decision, I was not afraid, I was about to die, what could he do to me, killing me was what I, wanted, there was a silence, the body was strange, it began to float around me as if it was orbiting around me, he spoke to me again and told me why did I make this decision? I had nothing else to do and I answered him that I had already reached everything in this universe, what more could I ask for, I had already reached my limit, then he answered me that if I was perfect, confused I asked him what he meant, with perfect, he answered me, that if I had reached the top of my species to say that I had everything, He left me thinking for a while, I told him yes, I had money, power, I could do whatever I wanted and he said with a more chilling tone then why not manage to escape this situation and if I had knowledge of the physical forces that harbor in this huge universe, I was quiet I did not have that kind of perfection listen to his voice that said, <>, He repeatedly said that word, I told him to shut up, he shut up just to say that if he had power and money if he had helped my most needy species that if he had enough money to do it, but I never thought about it, who was this guy was just my mind playing or was he really there. 

I started to think, I saw the clock, there was only 1 hour left, this thing was still spinning around me, it started to talk again, it told me <<You are not perfect, you have more to reach, the necessary resources do it, why were selfish?, now will suffer in emptiness of space, I torment so that die unhappy for your bad decisions, selfish human!>>, I was screaming for it to shut up, but it was right, what else did I do with my life I only wasted it, I thought I had everything, but I lacked knowledge and empathy for others, I only thought of myself, I cried of despair.

I spent the time listening to that thing and there were only 20 minutes left for this to end, but that thing made me regret my decision, I couldn't believe it, I really shouldn't have done this, desperate I started to turn around trying to find a solution, for this the clock showed only 10 minutes, I didn't know what to do when I saw a space station in the distance, does this suit have a communication device? I asked myself, maybe I can get there, the clock showed 5 minutes I started trying to get there and shouting for help, I heard laughter around me and voices that said <<Suffer your selfish destiny!>>, I looked up and saw how that thing was laughing at me and showing a creepy smile, but it was already late, the clock showed 1 minute and 30 seconds and was still going down, I kept stretching my hand towards the space station, while crying and regretting everything, I wanted to change, I apologized out loud, it was the only thing I could do, the clock showed 20 seconds and then, 0, I began to suffocate trying to get there, To the space station I didn't feel pressure thanks to the suit, but I was suffocating, I started to close my eyes I couldn't take it anymore when I heard that voice that said darkly <>, Already fainting, I saw a light approaching me and heard a voice saying<<This man is still alive!>> I looked at my watch with my vision almost blurred, I managed to see that it said 10 minutes and I fainted.

After a while I woke up in a room, I opened my eyes slowly a nurse was waiting for me in that place, she said that they managed to save me by miracle I almost had no air in my life suit, she told me that during the time I was floating they were looking for me because my manager did not know where I was and began to look for me desperately and I traveled a huge trajectory to reach the space station where I was currently, I was asleep for 2 days my manager came through my door and looked at me and cried, He hugged me and told me that I was stupid what was I thinking he saw the video of the security camera when I threw me overboard, I opened up to him telling him all my sorrows after of all, he is my brother we hugged and I asked him if they had not found anything else around me when they found me he told me that there was only an old cloth floating around me, I was a little surprised it was all a product of my mind it seems that I was going crazy and something in me did not want me to die and made me realize that I had more things to do in this universe.

After a while I left acting and with my money saved I am now studying all kinds of things I realized that I really lack knowledge and experiences, not just being part of the circus that entertains people, now with this second chance I am following my new dreams and helping those who need it most, thanks for reading my story survivor my name is Max Sinatra good luck in your future as I have it now.
