Ben Creagh from room 15 wrote a very cool space adventure story - have fun reading it!


Martian

“Aww!” I groaned, as I woke to a rumble. Then I inhaled. Suddenly I felt an instant pain in my left shoulder. “Ouch, I must have slept funny.”

“Hold up! Where am I?!?” I wondered, as I sat up and glanced for a minute. I slowly processed what my eyes were taking in.

“Ahh!” I said, the moment I understood what was going on. I spied to my left, then I saw my crew dealing cards in mid air.

“12 hours till we land on orange, rocky Mars”, I announced, stunned about how long I had been sleeping for.

“Can I play?” I asked, whilst I swiped the hair out of my eyes. “Sure”, replied George.  He stopped, then started quickly dealing cards in my direction.

Suddenly I heard a rumble, coming from my stomach. And again. Then once more.
“Do we have any food?” I curiously wondered.
“We’re out”, Connor slowly mumbled.

A devastating Bang rushed through my ears, as I heard a horrifying sound. Without warning the power went out. I rushed to the metal power box and flipped all the switches and pushed the emergency power button….. silence flowed through our ears.
I screamed dreadfully.

George sped to the control panel, then looked at the red screen.
“Three percent fuel left”, he quickly warned us.

“Brace yourself for the landing”, Connor nervously exclaimed.
“Crash landing on Mars – what a great way to die”, said George sarcastically. Suddenly an enormous black hole came out of nowhere.
“Even better – being sucked into a black hole and die there!” he screamed joyfully continuing with the sarcasm.

For a moment I was blinded, my ears were ringing. I fell out of my seat. When I got up, I could see that we were in a parallel universe and headed straight towards a planet that looked somewhat like earth.
