Where this story starts is wherever you can imagine it, but you should probably imagine a traditional teenage boy’s room, in a traditional home. Before we get into it, let me state that it is very, VERY, unlikely you will be picked in space in the time before you die. The ship has to be at your exact place in the universe, with the exact intention of picking someone up. According to the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, the overall chances end up being 2 to the power of 2,079,460,347:1. Anyways, back to the story . So this boy, who’s name is William (I figured you might want to know that), was just sitting on his bed, participating in average teenage events. At this moment they were very typical, non-important to the story, type of events. To be exact, he was texting. All of a sudden, he heard a low rumble coming from downstairs, and muttered, "What?" Then, there was a fairly silent moment followed by an explosion that, if you’re interested, could be seen from a smallish rock at the edge of our solar system, a rock called Pluto.
Now, earlier, I bet you were wondering, "What do the odds of being picked up in space have to do with this story?" Well, I'll tell you. You see, William had survived the explosion with nothing but a bruised shin, and a broken phone, and was now floating in the endless vacuum of outer space, holding his breath, and waiting to die. All of a sudden, he was encased in warm air, similar to that of his home. He looked up and noticed earthling decor and realized he was in a room. He turned around and noticed a large muscular man, and beside him, a smaller man with glasses, and a beard. "Well would you look at that?” said the larger man. The larger man laughed, and then said, "A fellow human on our ship!" As the smaller man spoke, William recognized the accent;, it was French. "Are you from France?" William asked. "Why indeed," said the smaller man in his thick accent.
William suddenly heard a low rumble from the back of the ship, similar to the one he had heard not five minutes before. "Logons," yelled the larger man. "Man your station," yelled a thick French accent out from behind William, (Whom we will now call Will, for the purpose of shortening the length of this story.) Anyways, back to the story. So Will was in shock, because of too many things to take in at once. Then, his left eye started twitching, and before he knew it, he was on the ground, shrieking and coughing. "Hold on!" yelled the larger man. The ship rocked back and forth, and then, all of a sudden, Will knew exactly what to do. He put on a space suit, and grabbed an oxygen tank from the ship’s reserve. He proceeded to drag the oxygen tank, (which was very heavy) into the airlock chamber, and when he got in, he sealed the door. A booming computer voice yelled, "Airlock door opening, caution!" It repeated that about 29 times and then the door opened, releasing Will into the vacuum of space. Will hurdled the tank at the enemy fighter ships, and as it made contact, he woke up.
