I can't recall too much other then this is younger cadet waking alone on a ship alone and he's afraid he's come down with this space madness. He's no longer aware of what time is and he's no idea where in space he is.

The story comes to a close where it appears that he's found the devil in deep space and that he's murdered everyone aboard the ship.
