The old ones say that once the Earth was a beautiful blue and green sphere. Now, however, where the greens were, now there are ugly grays. Where the mighty blue oceans were, there now is a black expanse. Men once thought that they were the greatest things that roamed the earth. Now they live in fear of the things that have taken over. Dinosaurs.

The shuttle lurched towards the earth. The alarm system went off, red lights flashing. I was being pulled into earths gravitational pull. The shuttle’s position shifted as it was slowly pulled out of its planed rotation of earth. Time slowed as I drew near earth…

The shuttle shook. Red, orange, and yellow exploded around the small craft. The pod jolted around, I fell backwards, sound erupted all around me. Lights flashed and the shades went down. A few minuets later the view cleared.
I was heading strait towards the grey ground. I couldn’t move. The living daylight was scared out of me. As the earth’s surface drew nearer and nearer, the shuttle’s alarm system went off. The video camera came on, but I couldn’t make my self move or talk. The ground grew nearer. I finally got myself to move and braced for a ruff landing.
I hit the ground hard. All I could see was grey. I don’t know how long I sat there, but when I finally looked up the view was clear. Sparks from the control system flew around the cabin. I got up to look out the window. The shuttle had crashed into the middle of a clearing. Everything was grey. Light grey, dark grey does it matter what shade it is? I decided to answer that question myself with a no. I grabbed a few food packs from the stowage cupboard. I checked to make sure that the mayday message had been sent out but the control system was destroyed.
All of a sudden the ground shook, I looked up, and across the clearing a T-rex started to approach the shuttle. I froze. The living daylight was scared out of me again. The dinosaur was standing right above the shuttle. It’s drool dripped down on the shuttle’s front view window. I could hear it’s raspy breath. It’s jagged teeth came into view as it bent down to look through the front window. The biggest eye I’ve ever seen came into view. It drew back and then came down teeth and all. I was knocked back by the sheer force. It’s teeth scraped on the windows as it tried to crunch the ship in two. I could see down it’s throat as it raised the shuttle into the air. I fell towards the window. Then grabbing my seat I pulled myself into a balancing position. I was hoping that the shuttle was made of tougher stuff than that dinosaur’s teeth.
Just as it seamed that it would never give up it dropped the shuttle. I tumbled over and knocked an object off one of the shelves. After I got up, I looked through the window and saw the dinosaur stomp off to the other side of the clearing. I looked behind me and saw that I had knocked down one of the many pictures my mother had put in our shuttle years ago. It was lying face down. I turned it over and saw it was a picture of my family all together. The glass was cracked so I decided not to bring it with me, choosing to exit the ship immediatly just in case the dinosaur came back.
The ground where I had landed was all torn up. The gray grass was tall, and looked like what the old ones call grain, so I didn’t have to duck down that far to avoid being seen by anything. The pod had laded in the middle of the field, so that made things harder as to hiding from dinosaurs. I basically crawled to the other side of the clearing and rested by the side of a tree only to find that I was sitting in a puddle of drool.
Hearing a low growl emitted from behind me, I slowly turned around to find out that my life was probably a short one. The dinosaur growled louder as it’s face got closer to mine. It opened its mouth up to swallow me hole, drool dripping down on my head. By the time the dinosaur’s teeth were about two inches away from my head my strawberry blond hair was looking more like spit up.
It lunged in for a final attack to bite my head off…
