I’m lost in space. Thousands of lightyears away from Earth.

Me and my crew were adventuring far away to find a planet suitable for humans. We had plenty of food and water left over. Our mission was going great. Until, there was a loud crashing noise. Whatever it was it made the whole ship shake. We were knocked off course. No one was controling the ship. We were speeding toward a snowy planet off in the distance.

“Brace for impact!” The commander shouted over the intercom.

Before I knew it the ship crashed on the snowy planet and we lost all of our power. Unfortunately it crashed directly on the area where our food was stored.

One by one each crew member put on their suit and left the ship. Bad thoughts went through everyones minds as we stood there in the snow staring at the wrecked spaceship.

I still had no clue what had happened. I decided to ask the watch crew.

“We were hit by a large astroid,” said the man from the watch crew. “We weren’t able to warn the pilot in time, the astroid wasn’t even heading in our direction. It just started speeding toward us. Something had to of pushed it toward us. Even then what are the chances it went directly toward us?”

_Something had to of pushed the astroid toward us on purpose. _I thought to myself. _What could have done this? And why?_

Since we didn’t have any food I decided to search the planet to find something.

I started walking away. There were many hills and mountains here. I climbed to the top of a hill and looked around for a food or water source. Nothing.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw something move. I jumped and looked around to see if I could spot anything. Then, I noticed a strange creature about two hundred feet away from me. It was maybe ten feet tall, had dark grey skin, standing on two legs with its two arms at its sides with long sharp fingers, Its head was the shape of a humans but without a nose or a mouth, behind it were many tentacles reaching out from its back. I looked at its face and saw two dark eyes staring directly at me.

My heart began to pump even harder. I turned around and realized I had gone too far from the ship. There was no where to go. I was lost.

I looked ahead to the creature and it took a few steps toward me and leaned its head in my direction. I took a few steps back out of fear and the creature started running toward me. Without hesitation I turned around and ran in the direction I came from. I didn’t stop running. The creature didn’t stop chasing me. The ship came into view.

Was I going to make it?

“Help!” I shouted hoping some one would hear me.

No reply.

“Help!” I called again.

No reply.

As I got closer to the ship I realized. No one was there.

_Hopefully they just went inside. _I thought to myself.

The creature continued to chase me. It was catching up to me. I didn’t stop running no matter how much I wanted to.

I was only a few feet from the ship. But the creature was right behind me. Reaching out to grab me.

Then, I heard a loud bang. I turned around quickly. I saw one of my crewmates standing there in shock, holding a shotgun. He had shot the creature. He saved my life.

I was about to thank him when I heard a roar echoing from the distance. I turned around, and saw the same creature very far in the distance. Only it wasn’t like the one I saw. It was bigger than the planet I was standing on.
