The Unfinished Adventure

Writing stories has been a passion of mine since high school. Hence I decided to share a short story I had written in my school days that I had used in my public speaking.

I want you all to close your eyes for a few minutes. Don't think about anything, leave the mind blank. Let the mind wonder into a deep abyss, a part of the of the mind you never knew existed.

Now imagine sitting on a seat. Not any ordinary seat. This seat is special. You are on a...(yells "BOOM") You feel a sudden thrust against you as you head upwards at great speeds.You pass out.

You wake up listening to the crackling noises on the radio. "Do you read....Odyssey...Come..In.." You try to reach out for it but it floats away. You come to your senses. Reaching out for the radio you grab it and try replying to the message. 20 minutes go by and no reply.

You decide to put on some gear and head outside. Trying to remember what seems to be fragments of your memory of the past few days. You jump one meter or so at each step unintentionally. Must be the gravity.

You head over to what seemed like a mountain the size of the Rushmore you saw a few months ago.You climb up as high as possible to get a clear view of the entire place. But nothing in the world prepares you for this.

What you see is a huge empty crater the size of an ocean, your ship had crashed on the surface and among the the stars on the sky you see the Earth and a glimmer of the sun right behind it.

There begins your journey of a lifetime, A Space Odyssey.

Now open your eyes slowly.

Life can be what you want it to be if you believe.
