The Space Drifter(Part 1)

I took another break from Camp Josef and my endless amount of projects to post this. It's a really old idea i got that combines my love of drifting with my love for the infinite. i call it the Space Drifter! I think it would make a decent novel. Here's the (Rough) first half of the tale.

(copy and pasted from my post in r9k)
I had this idea for a movie a long time ago set in the future where space travel has beocme public and the universe is slowly becoming industrialized by humans. The universe is starting to shape like in Futurama. There are space highways filled with massive space ships carrying various goods. And there's space wars going on over land ownerships and former military powers on earth trying to establish dominance in the universe and find a profit somewhere out there. But in all of the busyness of space there is one man, a space drifter who has lost his wife and children years ago under the idea that a friend of his from the military killed them and has been pursueing him for the last 15 years, so he's been on the run. Until one day he finds his family in a space station where he went to refuel, and he tells the story of how he become.... The space drifter.

So back 15 years ago, mister space drifter was highly decorated in some inter stellar space battles. Of course he's american, who would watch this movie if he wasn't? and he was fighting the equivalant of afghani space fuckers. So anyways, after one of the wars is over he says he's done fighting, he's going to raise his family and forget he was even involved in the war in the first place. His best friend and wingman tries to understand his case for a normal life, but when the afghani fuckers start bombing cities due to some sort of religious dissagreement among the lands then best friend's superiors demand that they bring the soon to be space drifter back into commision. Best friend goes back to friend during a space USO show where he is being commerorated to ask, but space drifter is all "fuck that noise, i got a family now." Best friend's dark side comes out and he threatens space drifter and threatens to kill his family if he doesn't join. epic space battle happens between the two and mister space drifter ends up nearly dieing, but he is saved by some old wizard fucker who nurses him back to help and gives him words of advice, since space drifter just tried to kill a leading officer(The leading officer being his best friend, and the leading officer having the upper hand of being at the reacting end of the battle, since mister space drifter tried to kill him after his threats got out of hand, and best friend can easily determine mister space drifter as crazy.) the wizard tells the space drifter to get to his family and hide. So mister Space Drifter gets to his house to find it burnt to the ground. In despair and with the idea that his family is dead and he is now a wanted man he goes on the road to find something worth living for.

At first space drifter is reluctant to even show his face in public. but he finds a job to support his running and hiding as a long distance trucker. The war rages on in the background and unfortunatly he ends up killing a dozen or so afghani fuckers who try and hijack him. This gets attention from the space police and the army. "Who in this world can take out a dozen space ships with a fucking hauling ship alone?" Well, mister best friend finds a way to track space drifter down, and oddly enough, so does the space drifters oldest daughter, who has been searching for him secretly since he heard about him being in the battle and knowing her father, he would have managed to survive it all. She goes on looking for him, but his trail goes cold when he ditches for the deepest reaches of space where he finds himself lost and scared. He then coems upon the fucking war again as the americans and the anghanis try and rape the planet he is on. Unfortunatly he becomes a POW for the afghani's and due to his aged self they don't recognize him.

The entire story would be narrated by the space drifter as he tells it to his family, his family of course asking the questions we are curious to know, and their reactions to his actions in the story.
