New Horizons

New Beginnings.

15000 years ago:

The migrate started. Our home planet was dying and our species needed a new planet. We found Earth. Our refuge only lasted a few thousand years before this planet started to die as well. But it was home. We did everything we could to help the humans save our planet.

15000 years later:

I awoke to my mother gently shaking my shoulder. "Come one sweetie, we are leaving today. Come have some breakfast". I looked out my window. The outside coated with last nights dust storm. My morning was a blur of eating gathering our last remaining belongings into our truck .

  The ride to the bunker was short. When we arrived we grabbed our belongings and and relieved the truck of duty once and for all. When we entered the bunker it was alive with people being ushered to their assigned shuttle. "EV 006" I heard my mom mutter over and over. "We are over here chloé" she grabbed my hand and pulled me off towards a shuttle. Everything else was a blur until take off.

  The G-foce was intense. It felt like the gravity we were trying to escape was putting up one last valiant effort to keep us on the suface. With limited facilities there was only so much they could do to prepare people for going into orbit and the repercussions of deep space travel. Weightlessness, relief, but it was short lived I felt my breakfast threatening to come back up. It was a 6 hour journey to our ship. 9 ships saving over a million people and the species of animals we were able to save. I looked at our Brown planet from the window no blue water like I saw in the books, Just a ball of dirt. In 20 years this will be a murky memory for us all.

My first writing project I've ever attempted so feed back is very much appreciated .This first chapter has been sitting here forever in my works in progress, in my head for even longer with a binders full of ideas that need to be organized to make a coherent story. I apologize in advance for updates not being very frequent but I will try my hardest to have at least one chapter a week. I do work a lot and will be doing this on my days off.
