Group+4


 * Main character: Lorita Jones
 * Setting: Earth/new planet
 * Plot: The Earth is coming to an end. Global warming is going to destroy our planet. A few scientists go out into the galaxy to find a place for the people to go and live. The scientists ended up finding a planet called "Planet Healalot." Once the people get on this planet they find that it is the most beautiful place in the galaxy. It was like la-la land there. The people get confortable on the new planet. But then one day another life form disagrees with the people being there.

The sweat trickled down his face, the suns glare in his eyes. You could tell the earth was coming to an end. The sand replaced the seas, the grass no longer existed, the only food we had was what we saved in preparation for this day. It only rains twice a year, and it dries within a day, we collect as much water as possible before it evaporates. The world was slowly coming to an apocalypse we had to evacuate from planet earth. "All aboard said the air craftsmen" as we board the space ships to go to anther planet. No one has a clue of what this planet is like, some say its like paradise. The planet is called Healalot. It's two times bigger then the earth. We land, its the most amazing place I've ever saw I couldn't believe my eyes. The people welcome us with open arms.

We walk onto this planet not knowing how to react. We are asking ourselves, "Why have we not known about this planet all our lives?" It is the most beautiful place that we have ever seen. As we are finding our friends and family we look around to see how we will be living. Everything seems so normal to us, like we are on Earth again. The people in control tell us where we will be staying, where our homes are. The homes that we stay in look exactly like the homes we lived in on Earth, this world is just like Earth.

5 Months after our arrival...

Our lives on this planet have been great. But there has been some weird events happening on planet Healalot. People have been getting very sick. We have had four deaths in the past five months. For some reason our doctors cannot figure out what the problem is. The people have just been getting rashes and the next day they are found dead. This is when the people start getting worried. We keep asking questions but no one can give us answers. The only thing we have noticed is that the people who are getting sick are not the ones that came along with us from earth.

7 Months after our arrival...

The months just keep going by, people still getting sick. This is the day where people really want answers. Lorita Jones, a woman that has lost friends to this sickness, wants to get some answers. She goes to the scientists who brought us to this planet. "What is going on here with this sickness?" Lorita asks. "We are not sure yet." A man answers. "Well I want some answers. People can't just keep dying and we do nothing about it." Lorita replies. That was the end of that conversation. Lorita will not stop until she gets a solid answer from someone who knows what they are talking about.

8 Months after our arrival...

Lorita is not sure what to do anymore, she has tried everything. Now ten people have died in the past eight months we have been here on planet Healalot. One man Mark Rite made a remark stating that it's only ten people that have died, and some of us here on planet Healalot are over reacting. Lorita Jones replied, "That is true, but what if it were your friends that this was happening to? I have lost some of my friends to this sickness I want to know what is going on." After this statement no one responded. It seemed as if everyone from earth was completely immune to this illness.

9 Months after our arrival...

The majority of our people ( from earth) act is if they could care less about this disease. The people started thinking I can't get this so why should I care about them? However Lorita had a completely different thought," these people welcomed us with open arms when they heard we needed help, and now they are sick and you want nothing to do with them? The least you could do is act as if you cared, none of you are doing anything to help them! These people did everything they could to help us." People started talking, and most agreed with Lorita everyone now realizing what a big deal this situation really is.

11 Months after our arrival...

One hundred thirtyseven people now dead, the disease is still un-known. By this time everyone is done underminding the situation, everyone wants to help, however nobody knows what they can do. People from earth are beggining to see the more they talk to the people the quicker they die. The scientists are running tests to see if the people from Earth are the ones spreading this disease, but then how do they not have it? Is it an immunity. or does it just take longer for thier bodies to react?

12 Months after our arrival...

It has been found that the majority of people from earth are immune to this disease, twenty are not. It is almost completely opposite with the people from planet Healalot, the majority of people are not immune, about twenty-seven are. Scientists are trying to find how this could be, but every possibility leads to a dead end.

15 Months after our arrival...

More and more people are getting sick and dieing. Since they have noticed that if you talk to the wrong people you can get the disease and die shortly after that. This planet is beginning to become very quiet and dead. People are not sure what to do. They are really beginning to become involved with the tests. More people are listening to Lorita and what she has to say. "Its been a year and three months, and still nothing has been done. We need to take control of this situation." Lorita says to the people. "Yeah, lets follow Lorita!" The people yell. Everyone starts communicating to come up with the perfect plan.

17 Months after our arrival...

We finally made a plan that might actually work. But by this time there is only a few of us left. "Is it even worth trying?" The people ask themselves. Some people believe that they will survive, but then others have already given up. "There is only a little of us left, we can't control this disease." Lorita does not want to give up. But in her mind she knows how this will really turn out. There is no other place for us to go and live. This was our last chance and it just didn't work out.

18 Months after our arrival...

"This is the end." They all think to themselves. Our plan has failed and now we have nothing left to do. Lorita is still alive but has nothing else planned to do. She is now starting to give up, just like the rest of the people. Some people believe that there is somewhere else out in the galaxy where we could go and make our own planet. "Mommy, what are we going to do now?" Lorita's five year old son asks her. "I dont know honey, i just dont know." Lorita answers. But that is the one moment it comes to her. "We have to leave." Lorita thinks to herself. She is taking whoever wants to go with her in a space ship. "I would rather die trying, then not try at all." Lorita explains. "We will leave in two days. Collect your most valuable possessions becasue we cannot take alot."

The day that we leave...

There were fifteen people who left that day. We spent eigtheen long months on that planet. Now we are just floating around waiting to find a place to call our "home." We have all become quite fond of each other, i believe it is a good thing considering we will be spending our time together. The group of survivers had relationships blooming. In fact it seemed as if everyone who started out on earth was more attracted to the people who lived on planet healalot. Eventually a new generation was formed, will they have the immunity?
