A Mighty Spaceship Inside the Forest

Alarm on my cellphone made me woke up. I saw on my phone’s screen and noticed that it was 6:30 AM. However, to my suprise , it was completely dark outside. I was bewildered and thought that may be my mobile timezone has changed somehow and saw time setting however, it was all okay. I rubbed my eyes with my palm and again saw outside to make sure whether it is dark or not. It was very dark and nothing was visible.I couldn’t understand the situation hovering around me. I tried to communicated with my wife however, my cellphone was out of network and no signal.

Suddenly, I remembered I was in a trekking inside a dense forest with my friends. We were enjoying with our voyage and had some dry foods. Suddenly we saw a mighty tiger was running swiftly towards us afar. Being afraid and shaken from inside we eloped and scattered willy nilly to save our life and we lost our way. I called my friends loudly in the aftermath however, this went in vain.

Nobody heard me and replied. I tried to soothe myself and searched my route to get back home. In contrast, I got more deeper inside the forest.

I saw a mighty spaceship afar and reached there hoping it could give me a solution however, I encountered with aliens. They kept me in their spaceship and…I couldn’t remember further.

“Where am I?” I screamed. “Can you hear me?” I added.
However, nobody replied.

I moved here and there and found a glittering big screen.
‘Your destination is about 44 AU away. With the current speed it would take nearly six months to reach.’ It was blinking.

Then I understand that I was being taken deep in the immense space far from our Earth. It was a mighty spaceship taking me far away from my home planet Earth.
Meanwhile, I saw three armed aliens at the corner of the spaceship and peepholed there and saw that two humans were captivated. They seemed unconscious. I was hopeless that I could reach home alive or safely. I started thinking the way to get rid of these notorious aliens and get back home safely.
At this juncture, I heard an alien communication with his friends in his home planet and saying, ‘our carbon dioxide reservoir is going to finish. How could we refill it?’

Someone guided him,  ´Land on the planet Croatima, nearly 35 AU off your current location and fill your tank there.’

Immediately I understand that they need carbon dioxide for respiration. They got weak or lost their lives only when carbon dioxide supply cuts off.

‘I could only reach alive to my home if I kill these aliens. For this, I have to destroy their carbon dioxide reservoir.’ I murmured.

I couldn’t destroy their carbon dioxide reservoir as it was inside a tight security so I destroyed fuel tank. This forces them to land immediately in any planet in the vicinity and they landed the spaceship. It was a green planet almost covered by trees. Almost no animals. Within a week all the trees engulfed carbondioxide and the reservoir got emptied out and they suffocated and got killed.

Taking the advantage of this situation I took the spaceship and set my journey back to Earth.
