A New Life

A 95 word story of someone preparing to leave their planet

I looked out onto the planet we would leave behind before I entered the ship. We did not know if death would await us on our journey or if we would truly find a new planet, but we knew that anything would be better than a dying a planet. I did not know how long I would be asleep in my pod for. For all I knew, if such a planet existed I would not be awake for another hundred years. Even so, my family was with me and whatever happened we would be together.
