a galaxy far, far away

achievement for the day: LO all done :-)


let me tell you about an adventure i once had. i once flew away from the milky way and went to another galaxy filled with crazy planets, and strange but beautiful beings. it was so far away from here. i went to a planet called Is. it was so cold my nose would sting and i couldn't stay outside for too long. but at the same time Is was a beautiful place, on the other side of the universe.

i remember my spaceship flying into the planet's atmosphere. there were clouds in lots of strange colours outside the window. i was very excited.


but Is looked very different on the ground. from high above it looked inviting and tranquil. but once i got closer to the ground i could see it was different. there was lots of snow on craters and jagged rocks. there were some lights in the distance, and maybe some strange hardy things like plants, but otherwise, Is looked decidedly dead.


the spaceport wasn't very big. not many spaceships would come here after all. it was hard for the pilot to land, because the concrete ground was covered in ice and was very slippery. the spaceship lurched a little as we hit the ground. phew, safely down.


then i got into my little vehicle on the ground and went from the spaceport to the township. on the way i stopped to look at an intresting lagoon. it was a very strange colour. aparently there are a lot of little lagoons like that on Is. when i got closer to the water, i could see it was extremely hot in some parts. there was boiling hot water coming out of the ground in the centre of the lagoon. i had to be careful.


then i arrived at the township. it was an amazing little place. people were busy doing there things, even though there was almost no light from the star nearby. many of the streets and lanes were covered in ice and snow. you had to be careful not to stay outdoors for too long, or your nose might just freeze and fall off! i went to bed after a nice warm shower in water that smelled a little bit funny.


the next day it was sunny for a while. i could go outside and look at my new house. my little house was a strange shape but nice and warm inside. there was a place i could park my vehicle underneath. i wandered around the township and went into some of the stores to meet the locals. they were very beautiful beings, and quite friendly. the streets outside were almost completely empty however.


i was very happy on Is. it was cold and sometimes windy, but still very beautiful. i think i could spend a lot more time here. unfortunately, the time came when i had to leave. i packed up my belongings and went to the spaceport. then i flew away, back into space, and back across the universe to the planet i was from.


i had a lot of fun. one day i will go back to Is.
