Normal life

A chilly October morning dawned, the leaves on the branches turned yellow and began to fall. A light cold breeze blew through the unsealed window, mingling with the smell of stale food and leftover alcohol from last night's drinking from the living room.
Marlon is preparing for the first of this season's semester in college. Marlon loved and studied astrology, he was simply much more fascinated by the world he could not see and experience than the one in which he lived. He is a handsome young man with green eyes and dark hair decently cut, with his tall and masculine build, he catches the eyes of the girls but it seems that he didn't care about that so much. He always had an imaginary gaze that went into the distance ... as if he was not present in this world.
As he was leaving the house, he tried to look away from his drunken father, who was torn and asleep on the couch, while there was still a half-empty bottle of whiskey in one hand, his pants were about to fall off and his white underwear shirt was pulled out of his pants and slightly torn.
Marlon was disgusted by this scene, but promised his late mother, who had died of cancer, that he would take care of him even if after her death his father was no longer a "father", he became just a drunk.
Anyway, Marlon is a mentally very strong young man because he went through various situations that life threw at him so he managed to ignore scenes like this and escape in his head into "his imagined world" in his head full of stars and other planets ... and he always wondered "is there anyone there?"
