Spaceship...

Oh, gosh. I found my 6th grade writing workshop notebook, and I found the best story in it. I copied it word for word [unless it is in brackets], I promise…

I’m not even sure how long I’ve been on this planet. Two, three months, maybe? There is nothing here, absolutely nothing. All I know is that this is not Planet X, my original destination. I’ve named this planet Boring Planet, because I’m so bored I’m reading a dictionary. I’m on Z.

I just finished the dictionary. I stare at the wreckage of my spaceship and try to remember exactly how I got here. All I can remember is that I was on my way to Planet X, hoping to find freshwater. I had felt a bump shiver across the floor of the ship, and the next thing I knew, I was here. Maybe the asteroid embedded in the body of my spaceship will give me some clue as to what happened.

Okay, I shouldn’t be saying “my spaceship”. “Our ship”. Corrine and Aiya are here with me. Actually they are the only ones of the crew that survived. Kassie fell into a hole in the floor while we were over Venus, and Britney had “tripped” into a pool of toxic glue. The rest just kinda disappeared….

But, Corrine and Aiya are here, at least. Corrine might come in handy, she’s pretty talented [with her mad tentacle skills], but Aiya is pretty much useless. She can be bait.

I kick at the debris of of the ship. I think the asteroid hit it, but my ship has the most advanced versatility technology. It shouldn’t be completely destroyed. Unless, of course, the asteroid was going more than 5 miles per hour… Oh.

And apparently that's all I got before free-writing time was over...
