Martin, the Moon Miner

Hello again children of the internets! I have decided that I actually WILL post my story from my testing today. It's kind of weird, but for me, it was quite creative! Here it is, I hope you enjoy:

Martin awoke one morning in his house on Luna Colony III. He ate breakfast and got ready to go to work at the Luna Colony Mining Station. He went over to the main section of the colony, and caught the transport to the mining station. He arrived at work and greeted his friends, and then proceeded to put on his spacesuit, which was needed because the moon has no atmosphere. He stepped outside and looked up at the Earth, which was in its full state, and the Hubble Space Telescope, which was still going after 57 years of taking images of far away nebulae and galaxies! He was in awe. He also loved coming out on the surface because he could get away from the artificial gravity that the colony provided and have some fun in 1/6th-g. He began his digging, but he soon came across a tablet. This tablet looked ancient. It had a language on it that he had never before seen in his life. He decided he would go take this inside and show it to his boss. His boss told him that he should send it back to Earth to be analyzed. Martin did just that, he sent it to Caltech in Los Angeles. After waiting for about a month, the results came back. He didn't really think he discovered "ancient lunar life" but he was curious to find out exactly what he DID discover, perhaps remains of the ancient Apollo missions <side note>Okay, if it was only 57 years after Hubble was launched, Apollo wasn't "ancient" yet, but it sounded cool okay?</side note>. He opened the envelope and was amazed. The language on the tablet was like no language ever before seen on Planet Earth, and the tablet contained fossilized remains of bacteria that had a different genetic code from Earth bacteria. Martin had discovered a separate genesis of life! He was truly amazed. He later won the Nobel Prize for discovery. <side note>I don't think there is a Nobel Prize for that, but it worked in the story so shut up</side note> He then used the money from the prize to buy a nice house on Mars for him, his wife, and their three children, and they all lived happily ever after.

So, that was my story. It was very odd, and the ending was a bit abrupt, but it was very creative, especially for me with only 5 minutes to think of a plot and write it!

And if you didn't read my entry about all of my testing, here it is.
