My eyes opened by the red sun. I yawned and stepped out of bed, but then I realized it was no bed. It was made of metal and looked very modern. It looked like some sort of spaceship. I looked down to my feet, which had no shoes on them, my clothes looked like a hospital dress and my hair had grew long. My hand caressed the cold metal but was stopped by a different touch. It said 'AHTZ37' but I had no idea what it meant. As I took a deep breath, I smelled nature, but only nature. Not when you walk in the woods and a mile further was the city, just nature. I looked around and recognized New York. Although it didn't have any buildings, it was just a grass field with in the distance something that looked like woods. Somehow, I knew it was New York. I knew I lived there but I didn't seem to remember anything else. I didn't remember my name, my age, family or friends. I appreciated the nature and laid down in the grass. The clouds were clear white and the sky was blue. It felt like another Earth, one where no one has ever been before.

After a few minutes, I heard rustling and got up to see were the noise came from. A deer ran past me and as I followed it with my eyes, it ran to a smaller deer, probably her child. There is life on this planet besides plants but there was no sign of another spaceship or another human. I wanted to know everything and got back in the spaceship. The technology was very modern but I managed to set a course to Earth. I heard the engine starting and the doors closed. Then, I felt a shock but nothing happened. A voice of a woman said: 'Course failed.' I tried again and again but nothing happened. I stepped outside and saw white gas coming from the ship. My ship was broken. I had no way back to Earth.
