The Meteor
In the year 2019, a meteor crashed into Earth, killing half of the planet. Before this tragic event had happened, us humans had been warned about the meteor. NASA had a spaceship at the time. They could only fit 4 people in the spaceship, so they chose 4 astronauts who were in their early 40s. My great- grandfather, Wilson Banks, was one of the 4 astronauts. He was 42 at the time.When my great-grandfather and his friends left Earth, they were in space for days, and then weeks, until they found an unknown planet. They landed on the planet and looked around. The planet looked a lot like Earth. They discovered that there was a species of aliens in the planet. A family of these aliens invited the astronauts into their house for, suprisingly, regular food that you’d find on Earth, such as cookies and tea. After a few hours of talking to the family and learning about the planet, my great-grandfather declared that it was time to go back to Earth, or what was left of it. When the astronauts landed on the planet, half of it was nothing but ashes and rubble. The astronauts decided to see if their families were okay. First, they went to my great-grandfather’s house. My great-grandfather was happy to see that his wife and children were alright. My grandfather was 15 at the time. Then, they went to everyone else’s house. The astronauts’ families were okay. Today is the 100th anniversary of the day the meteor crashed into Earth.
