The Solitary Journey of Augustine: A Tale of Hope and Despair

Augustine, an elderly man grappling with a terminal illness, embarks on a hauntingly solitary journey at an observatory—his refuge on Earth. As everyone else on the island evacuates in response to a global catastrophe, Augustine resolutely dedicates his energy to monitoring astronauts exploring potential new homes in the vast cosmos. Isolated and possessing limited means, he attends to his own needs, orchestrating blood transfusions and medications amidst the desolation of his environment.
