"short story. Read it online after it was suggested from a reddit post. Guy wakes up early on a spaceship. Cant put himself back or wake anyone else up. Plays lots and lots of chess. At one point he looks out a pothole and sees a ship flying next to his. This is the first proof of aliens but he never makes contact with them. Gets drunk then quits. Falls off a ladder and dies and the ship pushes his body into space. NOT PASSENGERS. No other humans in the story until maybe the very end but hes alone the whole time. Guy paints murals on the ship"
