Voyager

Bright, and Illustrious. Filled with craters and little pot holes in the ground that can deceive you from time to time. Its name is Voyager, the comet that I reside upon. It is always running at high speeds from the darkness that awaits far away from the gleaming suns of solar systems. Every once in a while Voyager will slow down when it gets too close to large planets, and I get a bunch of time to take it all in: the beauty, and the perfectness of the planets. During this time I reside in a space hut I made in a crater of the comet. I always draw the planets that we pass on a light layer of space rock and put them in a giant collection that I have made over the years. 

Although living on a comet is awesome, zero gravity is the best thing ever! Floating everywhere I go, and just seeing everything float around the room makes you feel like you've walked seven loops around a baseball bat on the ground, and then right after try to hit a piñata. Voyager is teaching me all about the Milky Way galaxy, and when I have learned all that Voyager can teach, we'll travel the gauntlet all the same. Because this is my home, a place where the stars glisten in the never ending sun: a place where the darkness never comes.

    Love the idea of living on a comet! Also, your narrator drawing planets is a such a sweet image. It reminds me a bit of the The Little Prince.
