I've been clinging onto this asteroid for a very long time now, I do not have any home left, my home planet is gone, and I must find somewhere safer
This asteroid may lead me anywhere, but it seems to be headed towarss one particular solar system, or at least it is for now.
I'm not sure how I'm even alive, this asteroid is moving incredibly fast, sure, I've ridden fast asteroids before, but as much as I'm glad I'm alive, I really shouldn't be, but I just have to hope that it doesn't land on any planet, that'd cause mass destruction, and even worse if there's things living on it

All I need is a good planet to land on, I have to hope for the best and hopefully, if it's populated, they won't try to exterminate me immediately, I won't be surprised if they do but still, I'd rather live, I'm sure a lot of other beings would be on the same page as me on this.

From far away, I can see a blue planet, it's got some white spots and is percectly placed nearly in the middle, far enough away from the sun to not burn up and also close enough so it doesn't freeze, I've heard of how these things work, and that giant star doesn't look hot enough to burn up all of the planets.. I'll try to land on that blue one, but I don't know if I'll be successful, and my observations may be wrong, but hey, if I do die then who cares.. ? There is life all around, but its rare and I likely would've died anyway from other causes, space travel in this manner is extremely dangerous and I want out as soon as possible

As the asteroid closed in, I jumped off and used the gravitational pull of the planet next to the blue one to fling me over there, I was in extreme agony due to the build up and strength of it but it's worth it to try, and I got to use my playtine activities to good use; using gravity to fling yourself around, it's risky, but I don't care anymore, I'm in danger but it's not like I'd be any safer on the asteroid itself.
It might take a while to land on that planet, and it might orbit away from me, and if it does, at least I'll likely not have as painful of a death than being torn apart or being smashed by a rock ( but the latter is still a small possibility if I'm really unlucky ), either way, I'll be free, and I'll be somewhere else
