impossible task and was unmanageable in any way. So he lay there.
His track of time was lost. Not to be found. Derek found himself staring
at a small fern not too far from him. He set himself a goal. To reach it.
By any means possible. He couldn’t give up. Not now. Not just because
gravity was too strong or that he gained a hundred kilograms aboard
the pod. No. He had to persevere this otherwise what did his dad die
for? Surprisingly when he tried, Derek could crawl fast. Maybe he got
used to the gravity. Maybe now he could stand up. He tried. His legs
shook more than the pod when it was entering the atmosphere. But he
knew he had to do this. Right now it was his goal. To stand. And he
knew that if he couldn’t even finish such a simple goal, how proud
would his father have been? He stood up. Dizzy at how he could see
further. He picked up his pack and took his first steps on planet Earth.
The first few steps were difficult, but he got used to it. The rest were a
lot easier. Derek kept walking in one direction. Away from the pod he
crashed in. He saw a triangular shape ahead. It was soon revealed to be
a small house just out there. A humanoid figure was sat down on a
chair on the porch. Derek hopes he can communicate with him.
Peacefully. He kept walking. He felt dizzier and the house just didn’t
seem to get any closer. He walked as fast as he could. His head was
spinning and his vision was a blur. The house stood in the distance,
mocking and laughing at his useless efforts to reach it. Before he knew
it, a darkness engulfed the boy and he fell to the ground.
