Crashed

Oh, you want a description? Well, what's it called? Crashed, right? Pretty self explanatory if you ask me.

        Bliiiing! Bliiing! Tamrah sighed as she slapped her alarm clock to wake herself. She then dragged herself out of bed, getting dressed sloppily in her faded striped shirt, and torn overalls. Living in Utah had its ups and downs. But being the daughter of a Farmer, well that could be either of them. Today, it was a down. Or at least, it started that way. She dragged herself sleepily outside, glancing at the sun coming up behind the rocky mountains. She lived in a small town in central Utah call Ovalville. Seriously? Ovalville? Yup. Ovalville. Well, could have been worse. She went to make breakfast for herself after her chores were done, stepping carefully over the cats. Her father was gone to town that day, and her mother was a nurse, working in town every day. 

        After finishing breakfast, she tore off her shoes and ran to get her fishing cap. She was going fishing! She had ratty brown hair that she hardly ever thought about, and a few freckles right on either side of her nose. She beamed as she ran down the road, happy to have her chores done for the moment, of course, she was procrastinating, but this was one of the ups of being a farmers daughter! She let out a maniacal laugh as she ran down the hill towards the lake, and laughed even harder when she stopped in front of her paddleboat, out of breath. 

        In about ten minutes she was half asleep, holding her fishing pole between her legs, with her head back against the rim of the boat. Her cap was over her eyes, so the only warning she had of the spaceship, was the sound it made as it fell from the sky like a downed bird. She sat up, pulling her cap back so that it no longer covered her eyes, and when her mind had processed what was happening, she grabbed the paddles, letting the fishing pole fall into the lake with the fish that had just started nibbling at the bait. She couldn't help but scream when the spaceship hit the water one foot from the bow of her little boat. She rode to shore on a ridiculously big wave and her boat splintered when it hit the rocks, throwing her from it and into a convenient bush. 

        She got up, and watched as the spaceship began to sink into the now tumultuous water. She stood up, pushing her hand through her hair, not realizing that her hat was gone, and stared at the big orange and white, shark shaped vessel. That's when she realized that if there was a spaceship, there was someone driving it too! Without thinking it through, she dove into the lake, swimming towards the wreck as fast as she could handle. Luckily it sank pretty slowly. Reaching it, she dove under the water, swimming towards where she guessed the cockpit was. The murky water made it hard to see and her lungs were screaming at her by the time she reached it, and she was happy to find that it was glass surrounding an obviously unconscious spaceman inside. In the end, she had to pry it open with her pocketknife, and by that time, she was seriously needing air! She reached inside and gripped the man before swimming towards the surface with everything she had! Those quiet moments of underwater terror felt like a thousand years, but she finally broke the surface, gasping for air. She was glad that she was a strong swimmer, but still barely managed to drag the man to shore, where she leaned him up against the pebbles, before leaning against them herself. She steadied her breathing, but suddenly felt overwhelmingly tired. 

          She sat up, fighting the sleepiness, and looked at who she had rescued, his outfit was the same colors as his ship, white and orange. He was also wearing a white helmet that she couldn't see through, there was orange colored glass covering the eye area, and she couldn't see through it no matter what angle she looked at it by. Not wanting to go so far as to take it off, she finally gave up, lying back against the rocks and closing her eyes.

This was great! No stupid mistakes; word choice was excellent and spot on. Once again you wrote a great story that captured my attention and drew me in. Good job!

[Calibaster]

Thank you, I should probably rewrite this too. It was really late, and it should be longer.

[LunarSong]

I love how she fell into a convenient bush :) I didn't really see any stupid mistakes so good job. It captured my attention.

[Calibaster]

great!

[ALITR]

I like it! Is it supposed to be open ended, or is there going to be a follow-up? Honestly half the stuff is write is written at past 11:00 so that's nothing to worry about in my opinion.

[Calibaster]

Oh, there will be a follow up. :)
