The story of Our Hero
begins as he returns home from the war
He finds that his
friends and family have changed considerably in his absence, and is distraught
both by their reactions towards him as well as his own feelings towards them
While walking through
town he is accosted by a woman conscripting soldiers for a journey to the
center of the planet
The voyage begins well
and with high hopes but Our Hero quickly finds himself disassociating from at
first the crew and eventually himself
Having fallen in love
with the groupÕs leader he reacts powerfully to her disappearance and his own
vanishing self-image
His first reaction on
finding himself irreparable severed from the others is to bask in the comfort
of the isolation that he had been searching for
However having found
himself incapable of enjoyment Our Hero rediscovers the value of his own
instrumentality and hallucinates a way home
