Writings -- THE RETURN TO EARTH

Approximate age: 11-12

This was type-written on an old school typewriter I found at a garage sale as a kid.  Don't know what I did with it.  Oh well.

The crew of the "Spanyada" starship started their return journey towards earth on the date of August 18, 3865.  The captain, Frederick Spanyada, had been told that the starships of the Pluto mining expedition had already left and were already headed back to earth.  These starships had left on January 8, 3855.  Since then, Spanyada and his crew had stayed about ten years.  Spanyada and his crew would've stayed ten more years if it wouldn't have been for the sudden call over his intercom, "Captain there is a weak call coming in from earth."
     "Put it over my intercom." ordered the captain.
     "Captain and crew of the Spanyada.  This is the President of the United States."  Static.  "The earth is in great danger.  We have entered--"  STATIC.  "--three.  We need your help immediately.  That is all."  Static.
     "Captain, what are we going to do?" asked the communications specialist.
     "We're going back to earth as fast as possible."
     "What did the President mean?"
     "I don't know, just get everyone on board so we can take off."
     "Consider it done sir."  That night the starship Spanyada took off towards the planet earth.
    Four days later, the earth had come into sight.

And that was how this one ended.  However, there were many, many random letters typed below, as if the typewriter had konked out.
