Death of an Astronaut

An astronaut is a modern tragic hero, who suddenly has a fear of success psychologically, decides to abandon going on the Mission to Mars. He thus fails to attain the American Hero Dream, that in a country coined as the land of opportunity, that if you work hard, with determination then anyone can make it. His inability to accept he has not achieved success, in these terms is at the root of his mental torture. He ends his life by suffocating from a mouth full of way too much dry popcorn, stuck in his throat...not able breathe. A sad life it is when one is fixated on just a goal, with high expectations, that's motivated by a loss of dignity. His feeling of doom dominates, a reality strikes him that he has little reason to carry on; - a loss of hope.
