Lost in space

in #twentyfourhourshortstory6 years ago (edited)

Jane woke up from a comma that lasted almost an hour or two trying to recall why she was in this strange Goldilock planet. She noticed a crashed part of an airplane a few kilometer from her as she struggled to go closer. She cared less over the blood spilling from a cut on her leg.

She got closer and saw her dad lieing helplessly on the other side of the unknown planet and her siblings sitting on a log of wood looking confused as she was.

"Where are we, what happened, I can't remember anything" . Jane asked nobody in particular.

"All I can remember is that we were on a plane" Stella answered.

"This planet must have drawn our vessels toward it" Maxwell who seem to know much about scientific world replied.

"How do we get our way out of here" ? In unison they all asked.

Jane could not believe being lost in a deserted planet. "What if we are eaten up by wild beast or never get our way home" she thought. Suddenly she felt a throbbing pain on her head, it must have been there but she didn't notice as she reminisced on the life outside this planet.

Jane felt a tap on her shoulder that sent her alert. Drawn back to consciousness she saw her dad who has now mutated to a human robot, maybe not but he was now programmed to save his family from the planet that could accommodate them for just 72 hours. This was only possible by unencrypting the magnesium which serve has a gateway of communication to the outside planet Earth.

Triumph being programmed could feel senses from 10km away from him, he loved his new nature that was unfamiliar to him. With a thrumming voice triumph communicated with them.

"Let's go southward , around the the cave , it will take us a day to arrive there"

Jane noticed her dad to be more sensitive and calculative

"What must have happened to him" she asked though expecting no answers.

As they went deeper into the layer of the planet that was constructed with crystal which had limited oxygen supply. Jane and her siblings tried hard to hold on to their breath, the blood she lost from the plane crash has resulted to much lost in haemoglobin . The new planet had no vegetables except weird weeds that were not good for food, they survived on Mana that was limited.

At about 69 hours , the Mana was almost drain and the magnesium was still in search. The only saviour they hoped on was triump whom programmed nature could dictate attribute to which matter.

He needed matrix and mathematical solving to get data processed, that's how robot operate . 71 hours still in the crystal planet ,it became tough for them as they struggled underground tracing the lining of the magnesium.

71 hours 30 minutes triumph unfolded it and beat it into a portal which related to the planet Earth.
"Hello, This is triump jane, who boarded flight 062 ,got drawn in an unknown planet now seeking help" she passed a call down to the earth.

She felt horrible on the planet that seemed stranged as Jane tried to relate to the robot. "How do they think"? She must have asked ,as she missed home and the activities she recently got fascinated to but her dad whom the planet mutated into a robot had no change in counternance.
