Diary of a boy stranded on an alien planet

Message from Dash

The signal is weak, but I can receive it: Images from Earth and it's Dash! OMG, I can't believe it, but he was actually able to send me a message! Should I reply to him?

Good night planet earth. Tomorrow I’ll repair my communication module and try to contact a rescue starship. Flash is sleeping. Okay, see you tomorrow.

Good morning. It’s going really hot today and I have to work on the communication module. I hope it works. I feel lonely, but Flash helps me.

I am homesick

I've been trying to contact Dash all day, but the connection is down. Maybe it's because the modules in the communication system are damaged or have run out of power. I'll have to look into it.

At the moment, all I can do is wait and see. Now that it's getting dark again and night is falling, I can't go to the module and repair it anyway. Luckily Flash, my dinosaur, is with me. And … oh man, I'm homesick.

The weather is so hot today! I think over 30 Degrees?! I’m seeking for a cooler place and maybe taking a bath in a lake. Flash is so cute and helping me. I miss planet earth more than ever. And Ice Cream.

I miss Dash

I really miss Dash Parr. I particularly like his beautiful eyes and light blonde hair, but especially his courage and strength. I could do with a strong, courageous friend here now, and one who can speak my language too.

So, that was a long day. Searching for wood in this heat, carving new arrows for my bow and teaching Flash not to slobber all over my face. Well, now it's time to go to bed. Maybe I'll dream about Dash. Good night!

While I was good at math and physics, Dash were very talented in sports. I watched his races at the athletics games: Amazing! I have only this one picture of him.

My new friend Flash

Wow, what a relief! At first I thought this wild animal was going to attack me, but then I was surprised, because the creature is wild but friendly. I took a photo of it, but I'll show it tomorrow because I'm tired and need to go to sleep. I tried to make a fire, but I couldn't manage it. Good night!

Good morning! And here is the “dangerous animal” that has been following me the whole time. It looks like that orange dinosaur from Digimon - Agumon or whatever it's called - but behaves like a young puppy. I'm going to call her “Flash” because he's fast as lightning and I like the Flash from the comics.

I will now go foraging together with Flash. Oh dear … Dash is a boy I like, I miss him a bit. I wonder what he's up to now? Well, first I'll settle my growling stomach, and I've got Flash with me, so I won't be so alone.

Visitors before sunset

Running through a jungle without knowing where to go is not very funny! But I think I've shaken off the strange animal. In any case, I don't hear any creepy panting anymore. First sit down and rest … Oh man, if only I wasn't still so hungry!

What a lucky guy I am! I have found some sweet fruit. They grow in an area where there is also a small lake with a waterfall and mushrooms as big as trees! It's really cool here. But … I think this animal is following me again, at least I can hear something. I wonder if I should stay here!

Okay, now I've had enough! Who's hiding in the bushes and wants to eat me for dinner? I made myself a bow and arrow today, with a sticky fruit on the tip of the arrow. Whoever or whatever is lurking in the bushes should just come out and try to attack. I'm ready!

First morning on the unknown planet

It's not so easy to find food or water if you can't be sure whether the stuff is edible. I don't quite trust the animal kingdom here either: I prefer to avoid the animals, I don't want to end up as a snack for an alien tiger.

I finally found some water. And there are also fruits that look edible. Luckily my measuring device still works, which shows whether fruit is edible and water is drinkable. But what is this? Can I hear noises coming from the bushes? I'd better get out of here …

Crash on a Strange Planet

I crashed with my spaceship on a strange planet and want to tell about my experiences here. I'm fearless and don't shy away from adventure, but I don't want things by force. I would be happy to write to you, but only very friendly and peaceful people get an answer. Or just ask me, I answer almost all questions.

Whew, that was a night. I could constantly hear the sounds and voices of wild animals from afar, and I always had the feeling that I was being watched. Unfortunately, my robot companion dropped out and I was on my own. I'll have to start by looking for water and food.
