Post 2: Avoiding collision and trying to catch another shooting star There's some good in this world and it's worth fighting for| LOTR|Whovian|Sherlock Fan COLLISION IMMINENT!!
Looking at the meteors flying towards her, Alyssa knew that she had to somehow get out of their way....but at the same time try to catch one of them as they flew by....or hit her. She found it difficult to move fast because she no longer had gravity to help her, but she turned her body to the side and angled it so that it started moving towards the left. 'Come on...move it!!' Alyssa thought to herself, hoping that in the process her body would miraculously move faster than it was doing now.
Unfortunately it did not and the meteors continued to fly towards her. Alyssa tried moving her hands like she was 'swimming' in mid air. It seemed to move her body a little faster, but still it wasn't fast enough. Alyssa decided to move into a fetal position. She figured that the smaller a target she made, the less she would get hit. Bending her torso and moving her legs up at the same time, she positioned herself into a fetal position just as the stars were a few feet away from her.
'Brace yourself, Alyssa. This is going to be a bumpy ride.' Alyssa thought to herself as she saw the meteors getting nearer and nearer. She felt one bounce off her leg and then another. Her protective gear was helping to protect her body. Another bounced off her helmet and another her back. Alyssa peeked out and watched a blue meteor coming towards her.
'This is what I need. I already have a yellow one.' Alyssa thought to herself. Alyssa moved her gloved hand away from the fetal position and reached out for the star. It was now within her grasp. Alyssa help up her gloved hand and tried to catch it. But at the last minute, another meteor came out of nowhere and hit her hand, moving it out of position, and the blue meteor she had her eyes on, grazed her finger tips and flew by her.
'Darn it!!.....guess we're going to have to try again." Alyssa thought to herself looking out for the blue colored meteors.
