Helium-4

“A Love Story from the Beginning to the End of the Universe.” A short story from internationally best selling author David Jones, owner of the Storydj Instagram writing account followed by over 260,000 people from around the world. Helium-4 is part of the Love and Space Dust collection. The piece is 5182 words long. This is the origin story of the Wandering Astronaut character, who is central to the collection. His musings and writings are the inspiration behind each poem, and his narrative arc across space is charted through short stories. Helium-4 follows the astronaut on a surrealistic love story that spans the first moments of the universe to the very last. From the surface of the moon to rush hour traffic and smokey late night bars, the story is one of finding love and purpose in a chaotic world. The collection tells a tale of lost love amongst the stars and the far flung galaxies. All poems from the Love And Space Dust collection explore the themes of love, space and eternity. The collection comprises of four parts. Each part includes three poems and short story, which explores and expands on the travels of the wandering astronaut. This is Part I, featuring three original poems and the story ‘Helium-4’ that opens the saga and explores the characters and themes to come. Part II will follow after the completed sale of Part I.
