The Dusty Planet
#WritcoStoryPrompt98
Everything begins with dust and progresses to the formation of massive particles that resemble planets. What can you say about it in a story?
Everything begins with dust and progresses to the formation of massive particles that resemble planets. This is how the universe was created, according to the Big Bang theory. But what if there was more to the story? What if there was a purpose behind the dust and the planets?
This is what a young boy named Zane wondered as he gazed at the night sky through his telescope. He loved astronomy and wanted to learn more about the stars and the planets. He had a dream of becoming an astronaut and exploring the outer space.
One night, as he was looking at the moon, he saw something strange. A bright flash of light appeared on the surface of the moon, followed by a loud boom. Zane was startled and curious. He zoomed in his telescope and saw a huge crater on the moon. He also saw something else: a small object that looked like a metal sphere.
Zane was amazed and excited. He thought that maybe it was a meteorite or a satellite that crashed on the moon. He wanted to find out more about it. He decided to sneak out of his house and go to the nearby observatory, where he knew there was a bigger telescope.
He grabbed his backpack and his bike and headed to the observatory. He hoped that no one would notice him. He reached the observatory and found it empty. He quickly went to the control room and turned on the telescope. He pointed it at the moon and looked for the metal sphere.
He found it and zoomed in. He gasped when he saw what it was. It was not a meteorite or a satellite. It was a spaceship. A spaceship that looked like it came from another planet.
Zane could not believe his eyes. He wondered who or what was inside the spaceship. He wondered if they were friendly or hostile. He wondered if they knew he was watching them.
He decided to try to communicate with them. He grabbed a microphone and a speaker and connected them to the telescope. He spoke into the microphone and said:
"Hello, this is Zane from Earth. I can see your spaceship on the moon. Do you copy? Over."
He waited for a response, but there was only silence. He tried again:
"Hello, this is Zane from Earth. I can see your spaceship on the moon. Do you copy? Over."
He waited for a response, but there was still silence. He felt disappointed and frustrated. He thought that maybe they could not hear him or understand him.
He decided to try something else. He grabbed a laser pointer and shone it at the spaceship. He hoped that they would see it and respond.
He waited for a response, but there was none. He felt even more disappointed and frustrated. He thought that maybe they did not care about him or his planet.
He decided to give up and go home. He turned off the telescope and packed his things. He left the observatory and got on his bike.
As he was riding back home, he heard a loud noise behind him. He looked back and saw something unbelievable.
The spaceship had left the moon and was flying towards him.
Zane panicked and pedaled faster. He thought that maybe they were angry at him for disturbing them or spying on them.
He reached his house and ran inside. He locked the door and hid under his bed.
He heard another loud noise outside his window. He peeked out and saw the spaceship hovering above his house.
He screamed and covered his ears.
He heard a voice in his head.
"Zane, do not be afraid. We are here to help you."
Zane was shocked and confused. He wondered who or what was talking to him.
"We are your friends from another planet. We came here to share our knowledge with you."
Zane was curious and skeptical. He wondered why they chose him.
"We chose you because you are special. You have a gift of curiosity and imagination."
Zane felt flattered and honored.
"We saw your signal on the moon. We were impressed by your intelligence and creativity."
Zane felt proud and happy.
"We want to take you with us to our planet. We want to show you our world and teach you our secrets."
Zane felt excited and tempted.
"Will you come with us, Zane?"
Zane hesitated.
He thought about his family, his friends, his school, his home.
He thought about his dream of becoming an astronaut, of exploring the outer space, of learning new things.
He thought about his future, his possibilities, his choices.
He thought hard.
He made up his mind.
He said:
"Yes, I will come with you."
The voice in his head said:
"Good, we are glad you accepted our invitation."
Zane felt nervous and thrilled.
"What do I need to do?"
The voice in his head said:
"Just relax and close your eyes."
Zane did as he was told.
He felt a strange sensation in his body.
He felt like he was floating in the air.
He felt like he was leaving his world behind.
He felt like he was starting a new adventure.
He opened his eyes and saw a bright light.
He smiled and said:
"Goodbye, Earth. Hello, space."
The end.
The moral of the story is: Sometimes, you have to take a risk and follow your dreams. You never know what you might discover or where you might end up.
