about

Captain Charles Fort peered into the dark edges of the Sargasso Sector --the place where all lost things go. In a moment he’d move past its horizon. How appropriate, he thought, he’d arrived at his destination and he’d never felt more lost.

He’d spent most of his life training for a mission into deep space, and was used to solitude. But this was different. His ship dying, transporter malfunctioning, he wouldn’t return. There was no way back, only forward. And so he floated towards Sargasso. Reflexively, he clicked record on his song siphon. There was no reason to think these recorded transmissions would be received. He was too far out this time, very near the edge of the knowable universe. But the song siphon had been his only companion on the long journey to Sargasso, a friendly ear between worlds. From now on, he’d leave it running.

He’d abandoned his stated mission goals. All that propelled him forward now was his instinct to explore. To find the edges of the map and move beyond them. He paused to say goodbye to the love of his life, Ada. Then, at the edge of the world, he entered Sargasso.

lyrics

no regrets
no deferrals
there's no second chance
just a dance
and a twirl
at the ending of the world

just a boy and a girl
and a moment for romance
take a chance
give it a whirl
it's the ending of the world

and you always knew the end would be like this
you'd stroll up to me and slay me with a kiss

nothing lost
nothing gained
just the love
that we made
here it comes
clutch your pearls
it's the ending of the world

one last look
one last kiss
one last breath
this is it
one last night
one last summer night
at the ending of the world
