“Crash!” I jumped out the window of my rocket just as it exploded in midair. I didn’t think I would have hit land so soon, but, sure enough, I hit hard on the rocky ground beneath me. Just a day or two before this, I had been happy as could be. I lived in Florida and I worked for NASA. I had been training for this trip for months and I was so excited to finally go into orbit. I had no idea what events would lay before me.
All of my thoughts went through my head over and over again. I had no idea what to do. My eyes were temporarily damaged,so, for the moment, I couldn’t really see a thing. I tried to lift my body up, but, pain shot throughout my whole body when I did that. I must have broken a few of my bones or my ribs. Oh no, my ribs! The thought of having broken ribs startles me. With broken ribs, I would have to lay completely still for a few weeks until they heal. But, I can’t do that in a planet I do not know. And, if I couldn’t move for a few weeks, I would starve for sure. Oh, I do so hope I figure out what to do soon, or I might be doomed. I thought of all these frightening thoughts as I drifted asleep.
I woke up in a startle. As I opened my eyes and saw three more huge,yellow eyes staring back at me! At first, I thought was still dreaming, so, I just closed my eyes again and went back to sleep. I was only out for about five minutes when,all of a sudden, I felt something wet and slimy in my face. Then, I felt sharp little daggers poking into my flesh. I flung open my eyes, but all I saw was the color black and maybe a bit of reddish pink. Now my whole head was covered in the wet, slimy stuff. I had no idea what was happening. Then, as I felt the tiny, sharp daggers dig into my neck, I realized what was happening. I struggled and struggled to get my head out of the monsters mouth. The sharp daggers were going even further into my neck, trying to rip my head off. I flinched and flung my body this way and that way. Then, I thought of probably the greatest idea ever made. I opened my mouth wide, and with all my might, I chomped down on the monsters tongue.
The monster howled in pain and let go of my head. As it jumped up and down screaming and crying, I actually got a good look at it for the first time. It was a strange looking thing. It had bright blue skin with no hair on it. It didn’t really have a neck, it looked like his face was connected right to his body. It had three huge eyes that were a dull yellow color. Its feet were so huge, it looked like they were as big as it’s own body which was probably just a bit bigger than mine. It only had four toes on its right foot and seven on its left. It’s arms were there, but, there were just two fingers connected to the end of its arms. There was a terrible taste in my mouth from biting the monsters tongue. I wonder what those things ate. That thought made me shiver with fear. The monster was obviously trying to eat me so, they must eat humans. I wonder if there are more of them. I do hope not, imight not be able to survive here if there are. There’s no way I can get back, since all of my equipment was destroyed in the rockets explosion. I guess I will have to make do with what I’ve got.
I managed to survive the rest of the night because I had injured that monster. I wonder why no others had come to attack too. Once I saw the sun rise up over the mountains, I decided to go take a look around this new planet. I first looked at the sun. It looked bigger on this planet. We must be closer to it. Actually, now that I think of it, I think this planet does have a much hotter temperature. I should probably take off my jacket. I reach to unzip it, but, as I came to a realization, I started to get a nervous feeling. When I jumped off the rocket, I must have somehow taken off my space suit. This was so terrible because without that, I wouldn’t be able to breathe, but, sure enough, here I am breathing as normal. Then came the question that I should have asked myself long ago. Where am I? Why hasn’t NASA found this planet? This is such a step for everyone! We (I) have found the first planet that already has breathable air besides earth! I have also discovered our first alien! I must tell someone! Oh, how I must tell someone! But... who? I looked around and I felt lonely, very lonely indeed.
I need to get food, I thought, forgetting my loneliness. I had been without food for a day, or was it two now? I had lost track but all that I knew was that I was hungry, I really had no idea where I was going to get this food but I did know that I needed it. I looked all around me, until I saw I big bush. The bush might have berries so, I started walking over in that direction. Once I got there, I saw that my prediction was correct. The bushes were filled with big bundles of red and purple and yellow and green and man other colored fruit. I put one cautiously into my mouth, hoping that they weren’t poisonous. They tasted delightful, not like anything I had ever tasted. I don’t think they have this kind of fruit on earth, I wish they did, though. I stuffed bundles and bundles of this marvelous fruit into my mouth as fast as I could. Then, as I was distracted b this delicious fruit, I suddenly heard large footsteps creep up behind me. I turned around slowly, my mouth dripping with fruit juice, I saw the big, blue creature with its big mouth growling at me. I saw a devilish look in its dull yellow eyes staring straight at me.
