Just myself - @Reeves

Story Title:

Unto others

A brief summary about your story:

The final, and admittedly somewhat disjointed thoughts of a man that regrets how his life has turned out and for what he has done in response to all this hardship.

How does your story fit in with the theme?:

The nameless pilot whose POV you are tied to dies wondering if people capable of forgiving would do it for him, and if such people exist at all. Even if the word itself is never used, he wonders if redemption has any place in the world he's seen and the life he made and ruined for himself.
