Icarus – The Projector
During the height of the Cold War and American Imperialism, a blond haired, blue-eyed American Air Force Officer was sent on a tour of duty to an Imperial military outpost in the quaint little Mediterranean country of Greece. There he met a beautiful young Greek woman. They had sex, and gave birth to a little weirdo they named Andrew. A few years later daddy took off, and this little blond haired, green-eyed weirdo was left to grow up among the Greek people as a sort of albino hybrid. As a teenager Andrew wasn’t very good at expressing himself, and beyond being an absolute outsider, he also had a lot of feely feels he didn’t know what to do with. So he started writing songs and doing drugs. Eventually he stopped doing drugs, but he still writes songs.
Now Andrew is a full-grown, full-blown weirdo who calls himself Icarus. He records his thought dreams in the vain hope that one day, 10,000 years from now, alien archaeologists will find his strange artifacts buried deep in the Earth’s sediment, take them back to their home planet in the Andromeda Galaxy, decode them, and add them to the Intergalactic Library of Indigenous Arts and Sciences (ILIAS).
That’s basically the gist of it.
I hope for nothing,
I fear nothing,
I am free.”
