Space Rescue
The lone astronaut missed his loved ones on Earth as he drifted farther from his damaged spaceship. He was terrified at the prospect of abandoning his loved ones in pursuit of his lifelong ambition to travel the cosmos. He closed his eyes and mumbled a farewell as his air supply ran out. Suddenly, a blinding light encompassed him just as he had resigned himself to his doom, and he found himself back on Earth, wondering whether he had been saved by some magical power.
