=THE ESCAPE=

prologue
One thing I should tell you is that my friend Will, he won the noble peace prize in 5004, the year that the Boston Red Sox won the world series in three-thousand years for his kindness.“Hi mom,” I said walking through the door. “Hi Quinn, how was school?” “Fine. Can I go to the field? The Junior Varsity team is playing, and I wanna see Will play.” “Sure but make sure you’re back at six.” “Sure.” I walked out side and ran to the field. Will’s team is very good, and they are in the play-offs. One thing I should tell you is that my friend Will, he won the noble peace prize in 5004 (the year that the Boston Red Sox won the world series in three-thousand years) for his kindness. I got there just as the game was starting. Will looked really good. Will's team won by a lot like always. The score was thirty-five to fourteen. As I went to congradulate him, people started running and screaming. The field was empty in a minute, and I was the only one left on the field. Then a __//**BOOM**//__ that ratled my ears. The earth exploded before me I was sent flyng into the air with a crash landing. "OH MY GOD!" I screamed as everything disinigrated. Then all of a sudden it was hard to breath.

chapter 1
"Next in line please," Said the man. I stepped up. "You will go on the 101st shuttle to your left young man." "Thanks." "Loose any family members?" "Ya." "Sorry kid. You'll find oxygen tanks in the shuttle." "OK." The shuttle was already taking off when I got their. I ran and dove in just as it was airborn. Everybody inside looked really scared and were huddled together and wearing oxygen tanks. I took one off the wall and sat down.I looked out through the window, and saw stars and asteroids racing past. Then I didn't feel to good, and I had a feeling the other people didn't either. "Where is the bathroom?" I asked intended to no one inparticular. They looked at me like I was a freak wearing a bikini, in a spaceship, and I even thought I heard someone mutter //we are not going to be swimming// but then he just pointed. I tried to to take a step, but I was floating in midair already, and I was just walking in place. I turned to look if my audiance found it funny to see a teenager with a bikini on, in a spaceship, in space, in midair, walking in place, but they weren't looking at me. They were terrified, looking out the window. I turned around expecting to see one of those green cute aliens looking in, but instead I was looking at a fifty foot wide ball of rock, rocketing toward me at at least a three-hundred miles per hour. My first reaction was //this must be where they got the expression "rocketing"// but then I was terrified too.

chapter 2
If this was the year 2007, then ship would have been blown up in a minute, but it is 3,000 years later. So we had about a second more to live. I don't know how I had the courage to do this, even to have the courge to turn my head the slightest bit towards the bathroom, but I did. I some how floated towards the door, put the oxygen on, and opened the door. It's even scarier when your looking at a fifty foot wide ball of rock rocketing towards you at at least three-hundred miles per hour when their is nothing inbetween you and the fifty foot wide ball of rock rocketing towards you at at leat three-hundred miles per hour! I had just enough time to float up twenty-five feet just in time so the meteor passed right under me. But the force of the speed made me fly with it at it's speed.
