In 2012, on December 21st, there was a lot of snow that covered the Statue of Liberty in New York, even though volcanoes were erupting all over the world. Earthquakes were cutting the ground and breaking down the pyramids in Egypt. Hurricanes were flooding the land in the USA and Canada, many more disasters were happening all over the world.

Because of these catastrophes, all the people were riding on a spaceship in order to run away from the Earth. But I didn't do that. The weather was getting worse. The hail was falling. Oh no, there were many alien spaceships. They were attacking me. They had green skin, ten eyes, and twenty arms. They had many terrible weapons. I escaped to the forest. Hurray! I found another person! He was a 13 year-old boy from Korea like me. We made some weapons to prepare for a big war. 100 aliens were attacking us. We were flying high in the sky and then our weapon, a nuclear bomb, went off. The aliens all died. Wow, we won.

The next day we made a big rocket. Our plan was to find people and to find a planet to live on. We flew into space. Oh my god! We didn't take any water in the rocket. This meant we wouldn't be able to drink water. Instead, we drank our urine. Yucky! After two days we landed on Titan. That's Saturn's satellite. My friend punched the ground then water came out of the ground like a fountain. So we got a lot of water. After three weeks, we arrived at Andromeda. We met kind aliens. They told us where people went. They said people went to the black hole. We were shocked, but we must find people. So we went into the black hole. In the black hole, there was another small black hole. I touched it and the black hole crushed. It changed into a wormhole. A wormhole is a hole that is made of one part black hole and one part white hole. A white hole is the opposite of a black hole. It spits matter (stuff) out as opposed to eating it like a black hole. The process was lasting too long, so we took a ride on a comet in the wormhole. Oh my god, my friend fell off of the comet into space. I cried. A few minutes later, I found myself on my bed. It was just a dream. I'm on vacation. I don't need to go to school today!
