Captain’s Log Day 1
I am now to start the
commemoration of not only the end of my space voyage but also the beginning of
my adventure on this strange new planet I have decided to claim for
myself. Because of this, I am giving it
the name of Summer. I did this because I wanted it to have a name as beautiful
as it is. The features that really stand
out to me are the towering trees that measure in at well over 100 feet tall and
are designed much differently than what I’ve grown accustom to back on my home
planet. These are covered in not leaves but
foliage closer resembling needles, and they bear fruit that seem to be inedible
because of the hard spikes and waxy covering on them that produce a smell that
would attract only flies.
Another
one of the outstanding features that I’ve observed is the outrageously high
temperatures. These temperatures are not
only high but also have a range anywhere from 97 degrees to something so hot it
will not register on my thermometer. As a matter of fact, the heat actually
melted my thermometer, and now it no longer works. What seems to be even crazier than the heat
is the fact that the locals here find it not only normal but comfortable. I
most certainly disagreed with that because back where I come from the average
temperature is a much more hospitable 76 degrees. Not only was I not prepared for the drastic
heat change but neither was my gear because once I left the ship to plant the
flag I made especially for this occasion( It had my face on it), my shoes
spontaneously combusted. Thankfully, my crew was Jonny on the spot and peed out
the flame before any real damage could be done.
Because
of the monumental occasion I celebrated by treating my crew to a special meal I
made personally called Boy Scout Chicken.
Because this meal was hearty and delicious everyone ate plenty and went
to sleep.

I really liked this because it showed your creativity - Jon Milligan

So, you went to a beautiful place that was really hot and full of inedible food items.... I don't remember inviting you to my house!

Why didn't you remain on this planet
ReplyDeleteLarry, I would have to say that this is not your best work. One of the many head scratching questions that come to mind, how did that thermometer melt and every other possession of yours didn’t? If the thermometer melted, would your space suit not melt as well? Would the glass not melt on your space helmet? Also, if your shoes spontaneously combusted, wouldn’t your space suit catch fire aswell? Are the locals you talked about the typical aliens that everyone would think of? Or do they depict human like features? Were the locals happy about you being on their planet? Did you ever speak to them? This was very creative, I’ll give you that. But you left out so many details that many people would love to hear. I would have to say it was sub par.
