Mirage of Hope

-In 2020 a huge meteorite hit half of earth ending almost billions of people and causing series of catastrophes that led the human race to evacuate and flee from the planet. With the help of technology and the series of advancements made all throughout this years, thousands of humans were able to escape and live just above earth where a space station was already build not for cases such as the destruction of Earth, but for research purposes. Now the place is torn apart and rebuild to accommodate thousands of people. Life in space was made possible and since then we’ve been watching Earths situation from above, monitoring day and night for any changes that could possibly indicate that its safe to live once again in the planet. Then it actually came. All images and sensors were clear, the meteorite or what we assumed as one, was no longer emitting a sign of any destructive behavior. Slowly things were becoming normal and the clouds that was once thick and hard to see are now clearing up. Because of that, the leaders of the space station assigned trained men and scouting army to oversee and witness the situation in earth themselves. They are to gather materials and proof that living back on Earth is possible and that its safe again. My team and another team were chosen because of our expertise, so on the twenty second of May, 2024, we went down with all the equipment and materials we could use while we do what was asked of us on earth. There were about thirty of us and five of them were doctors of science. I still remember the excitement we all had, its no secret that we do missed the life on Earth. We were free and able to have anything that we want. Then while we were all building a safe perimeter on one of the islands, it happened. A huge waves of light knocked all of us down. It was as if a nuclear explosion happened and we were all instantly put into deep slumber. When I woke up, I was left with two of the doctors and three from the other team. My entire crew and the others were missing and the six of us who were left was etched with crazy symbols on our wrists. We searched for our other teammates but we never found them but a strange creature came out of no where and attacked us. It was a hideous beast and the only thing we could do was run to our ship and go back to the space station, bringing nothing but bad news and a new problem to face.
