This is inspired by The Martian of Andy Weir, correct? It has a similar beginning with a guy being lost in space and using the extraterrestial environment to survive.

Oh! I can totally see the comparison. It’s actually inspired mostly by my time spent camping in the American Southwest—I love sci-fi so I’ve put a little spin to it.

This felt very cinematic. The atmosphere was handled with real restraint, especially the silence and the pressure around Shiloh after the crash. I could feel the emptiness of the place without it being over explained. Thank you for sharing this story.
