5 Million Years

Chapter 5: 5 Million Years

I feel like I'm awake but not really.

It's like when you're half asleep and you're semi-aware of what's going on around you but not really.

And it's like when you're sleeping and time seems to pass differently.

There's no way to know how long it has been. It could have been 3 million years or an hour and I would have no idea.

I wonder if I will be able to think like this the entire time.

It's dark and lonely with noting to do, so I hope not. It's an awful way to spend a lifetime.

It's hard to be trapped in this box, flying across the galaxy while my family lives on on Earth.

I wonder how old Lily is now.

I bet she's a mother with several beautiful children.
My parents must be grandparents now and I'm still 16.

Or what if it's been thousands of years? My family will all be long dead, along with their grandchildren and their great grandchildren.

I hope they know about me and don't forget.

Or maybe the Earth is completely gone now and the last remains of the once beautiful planet are trapped on the Genesis.

I'll never know.

And the worst part is, I'm ripped away from my family, I am in space, but I don't even get to see the stars.

I just got cheated out of my life and got no bonuses.

I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.

And now I'm stuck with myself for the next 5 million years.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This chapter is mostly filler but I like it.

It's a weird concept, space.
It's hard to wrap my mind around anything.

I am a firm believer that there are aliens. What about you? Do you think they exist?

Keep reading!

Tell me what you think and don't forget to vote!
