I am busy locking the last screw when suddenly the rope that connects me to our pad was broken by a small asteroid.

I found myself moving away from our spaceship.

I just enjoy the view of celestial bodies: the stars, the moon of Saturn, and the sun, as I slowly get far from my own invented ship.

As I consumed my last oxygen in my suit, I heard my mother's voice. She was angry at me and telling me that I should not accept the mission because I am just a new astronaut.

I laughed, telling myself, "You're right, Mom! I should not be here!" Then everything turned black.
