     original
in honor of the best
film of the year
Gravity :)

 Awe was what he felt time was on his side or so he thought. But in reality it wasn't,he hung on the rope or cable and had minutes to do repairs on the outer hull of the space station after it got struck by meteorites he was then the  only engineer on the station and knew how to repair it.  Suddenly then had  he felt the station move or shifted again. He then had trained for this one,this one event was going too be his career launching point. Ever since then he could remember Donovan wanted to be with the stars he wanted to reach the Moon and other planets,he then wanted to go to Mars and write in the sands Donovan Stevens was here.That was his dream . 
 

He then screamed as he felt the cable or line weakening he cleared his throat and then started talking,' ' This is Donovan Stevens whats going on inside Ops? Someone talk to me,my line is breaking,losing my grip.' And as then he waited for a response  or answer,none came. What was happening inside the station,why no answer ?

If only he knew the reason why no one replied or answered him, inside the crew of seven were trying to figure out how to get Donovan back inside but then suddenly something happened a gas pipe broke and they then had to repair it or die by suffocating. So then they had to decide was one life more in fact important to save then eight,the arguments started but as soon as they had repaired the broken gas pipe it was too late for Donovan and later too after this crew would report back to Earth an investigation was started .

' Ops pull me in now,' he then  said .But still no reply. He looked behind him, he felt the heat from the sun as it got too closer the station was able to stand pressures from the sun itself,unbearable pressures too, But not a human body,it couldn't stand that much heat or pressure .He then couldn't . He then took a deep breath and then he then screamed as if that would help and suddenly the line broke,he fell backwards,fast,spinning out of control. 

' Oh my God,' he then had  yelled into the helmet speakers,' Someone contact my family tell my wife I loved her. She'll be provided for ,tell them .' His voice was gone and too after he fell into the center of the sun tears were felt by the remaining crew members on the space station. A funeral service was in fact held and indeed the Captain of the space station had call his wife .Then the  song Amazing Grace was played throughout the station for about ten minutes 

Donovan Stevens dead at then the age of  then forty three burned up in the atmosphere of the sun, Donovan Stevens husband to Ann Stevens and too father of Shawn Stevens and Lillian Stevens, then too his body was never recovered , End.
