The Time Notfall Almost Collapsed
         by Saphron R.
Page 1 of 1

My world corrupted a few years ago.My people wanted to leave to planet Zhang because there was hope there.My planet Notfall was falling apart.

The Zorg of the city Contingale of Notfall is my father.He appointed a city meeting one night to address the critical situation.

That night he had a speech .He raised up his head and said:

"My dear Frizots and Gabbles.Our home planet is in bad condition.Hydrogen in the air is increasing,plants are dying,and heat is eating our valuble liquids.We must evocuate."

"This is my home,"someone yelled,"I cannot leave.My family has lived here for generations.I have to stay here."

"I know......my daughter wants to stay here too."my Dad said,"We have so many memories here but our allie planet Zhang is thoughtful of us.Our enemy planets are draining our planet with their solar liquid eaters we must leave."

A Frizot asked,"Won't Zhang be able to help save our liquid supply?"

"They would be able to,"my father replied,"but it would drain their planet too.Everyone tommorow needs to go to the Rocket Exit Service

tommorow.Frizots on one and the Gabbles with their younglings on the other.I am done.You may leave."

Everyone left to thier homes.Everyone prayed for the people they loved and the ones who have passed over.This planet used to be lush and beautiful now its cracked and brittle.We can't walk on the ground or it'll break.We use levitation boots to walk off of it.

"Dad,"I said,"will everyone tommorow be able to leave the planet?"

"I don't think so my darling Abigal,"my father answered,"This planet is too overpopulated,but we will be able to go.Time for bed,its getting late."

"I know....goodnight."I went into my bed and closed my eyes.Than a light glowed on my eyes.I opened my station window and there was a Zhangian Cylinder craft.It looked quite familar.I have a best friend that is a Zhangian.

There was a slight tap on our opening door.

My Dad answered the door and yelled,"Abigal!Its Salamantha!"

I ran to the door and said,"Oh my gosh,hello Salamantha!"

Salamantha was beautiful(I'm jealous of her.).She has blue hair,blue eyes and fair skin.

"Hey Abigal!I haven't seen you in two years,"Salamantha said,"There is hope for Notfall.Zhang can bring moisture here and replenish the oxygen.Zhang will net be drained of water becaused it comes bac -k on its own.My planet is sending some ships take the Frizots and Gabbles to my planet.The Cylinder craft is ready for you and your father,the Zorg of Contingale."

Before we left a spirit came to us.It was the ghost of my mother that has passed over.

"My dear Abigal,I've missed you all these years.And my dear husband I have missed you also.I'll miss all of you when you go to Zhang.This planet will be one again very soon."

Then she vanished.

Two years later I'm back at my home.I'll never take my home for granted.This is my home that'll forever be mine.
