about

"Entry number 90, the possibly final entry,"
The captain records his thoughts in his virtual journal, only illuminated by the screen before him in the ship's small, main control room, "I am stunned at how beautiful this unknown planet is that I am orbiting... I am stunned, furthermore, at how there is no discernible intelligent life anywhere on or around this planet. It's funny because it has water and plants, seemingly, but no animals. There are many ships out here, all abandoned, or unwilling to contact me. I have sent out a distress signal requesting that anyone who can understand me come to my aid immediately." The captain reached for his compressed cereal bar but to his dismay, he realized he had already eaten it. "The situation has gone from bad to worse and I'm losing faith in my increasingly slim chances of survival..." he looks around, knowing he has nothing else worth saying, "End entry."
Time passes and the captain starts polishing his life over and begins to realize he just started to do things with his very small time in this plane of existence. He boots up the audio/visual journal again, "Addition to the previous entry: Regrets."
"In reflecting on old goals and crushed dreams, I am remembering that even though I contributed a lot to the success of my kind, I feel a little empty on the inside... Like I never did exactly what I wanted, or I never directly made someone happy. I never cared for most people. They all seemed the same, all obsessing over how to stay on top of the societal food chain. I could always do that easily, but it was by staying detached, you know?"
"I guess what I'm saying is, I could only love people from afar, because up close, they were all really messed up. And it was messed up that I wasn't. I don't really have a story, I've always been good at everything I tried. Mommy and Daddy both loved me. Didn't have too much money, but not too little, either, if anything it made me try harder."
"I think this emptiness is like, 'I mattered a little to a lot, but not a lot to a little."
His stomach rumbled and he knew this was the beginning of the end. "Well, I guess this is it, it's been nice working with you, old girl," he patted the dashboard with a half smile and the ship acknowledged with a flicker on the screen and an unbeknownst blip on the radar.
"End final entry."
