Space Station Year Unknown
Entry 573: “Dear Diary it is day 573 in space. I live in a big space station made of pure silver. I am approximately 6573 kilometers away from Jupiter. It is reasonably cold over where I am but luckily I have a few heaters scattered around my base which thankfully keep me from freezing to death. I am Pete Johnson and I am here to live for hopefully 2 years in this space station, to study millions of stars around the Universe to earn my prize of $1,000,000.”
Entry 655: “Dear Diary it is day 655, I think. The heaters are getting more and more useless. I was going to grab something from the cupboard to eat but everything was frozen so I tried to use the oven to heat it but then I remembered I had 15% power. I had to save power for when I would leave. I had to eat the ice to get to the apple but the annoying thing was that it was floating due to low gravity. On the plus side I was fully hydrated.”
Entry 699: “Dear Diary it is day 699 but I’m not sure since I’m losing count. From memory I only have to study approximately 3,245 more stars to get my prize but the issue is that I’m getting low on food and water. I can’t wait to get home in 31 days! The heaters have run out of power so I have had to use some power from the engines to power the heaters. Consequently the engine’s down to 10% so I need to hope nothing else bad happens.”

Entry 729: “Ran out of food… water… the heaters are dead. Only 5% left on the engine's power… so close to my reward… $1,000,000. My body temperature is down to what I think is 27℃… 5 stars to go… I can do it… 1 day to go!
Entry 730: “Done! I finally completed my mission of studying all the stars around me, I found a new star and called it Stana. I learned about different constellations which were surprisingly near to The Big Dipper. I had to write this with some blood I still had in my body because I ran out of ink, surprisingly I had quite a bit left. I have had enough of this cold retched place so I am out of here!
Entry 735: “Dear Diary good news, I’m alive! When I landed on earth using my NASA rocket I got extreme treatment straight away. I was in the hospital for 4 days at max. When I was released I gave my information to NASA and was rewarded my prize of $1,000,000. After that I went home to my family and lived a very happy life.

Hi Aedan, I am so proud of the way you have written this. I like the way it's completed as diary entries and how poor Pete Johnson is getting into more and more trouble as time goes on. I love this story because it is funny but also sad and I was waiting with baited breath to find out whether he survived or not. I could see you were thinking of all aspects for the reader when you wrote in "blood" as well. I very much enjoyed reading this and can't wait to see more wonderful writing from you in the future.... Love Mum. :)
