Flight
Interior, space capsule, space
The interior is brightly lit and multiple lights and computers are whizzing about. A young 13 year old boy floats in the 0G environment of his tin capsule. A radio is floating beside him playing Space Oddity by David Bowie
Boy, "Houston this Topher Stevens, proceed with hourly check"
Houston, "Copy Stevens, we are linking systems… now"
A screen on Topher's right illuminates and a screen with a loading bar is displayed. While Topher is monitoring the check, he hears a loud and sudden tap on the window behind him. He stops monitoring the screen and goes to investigate. when he gets there, He sees a small speck on the outside of the window, it appeared to be a drop of water. This didn't make sense, he leaned in closer and in the distance he saw another droplet flying extremely fast towards the window. It splatters across the glass making another loud thud. this shocks him and he backs away from the window. He then begins to process what this could mean, in doing so he focuses on the surrounds around him. He hears the song.
Radio, "This is major tom to ground control, I'm stepping through the door"
At that moment the window begins to receive more and more droplets of water, a stream begins to flow down making streaks of water go across the glass.
Radio, "And i'm floating in a most peculiar way"
An extremely large crash is heard out side the window, the radio stops mid air then crashed onto the floor of the capsule causing it to smash into multiple pieces. He hears another crash outside the capsule. and more and more water droplets are stinging the outside of the window. He peeks out and sees a massive swell of clean waves. The sky is dark grey, massive winds blow a showering rainstorm in multiple directions. in the distance he sees a flash of white light as a lightning bolt strikes the peak of a massive swell.
Radio, "Ground control to major tom your circuits dead, theres something wrong, can you hear me major tom?"
Another strike of lightning hits the ocean, this time much closer and far louder
Radio, "can you heeeeeaaaaa…"
At that moment a large lightning bolt strikes the outside of his capsule. Time itself seems to slow, He looks around the capsule and sees small flashes of electricity dart around the capsule. the largest of which moves from the window and jumps directly at Topher striking him right in the temple.
Exterior, Wood Cabin, Night
Outside is a thrashing thunder storm, Topher is lying in his bead shocked awake from his nightmare. He looks out his window and a large bolt of lightning strike a nearby tree, the top catches fire and is quickly put out by the wind and crashing rain. He focuses on the area around him trying to process what just happened, in doing so he hears music, it was Space Oddity. He feels his ears and feels the earbuds that cupped each ear, he followed the cord down to his iPod. He picks it up and looks at the screen, he looks at the display and sees Space Oddity by David Bowie 3:40 seconds done. He pauses it, wraps his earbuds around the iPod and sets it on his bedside table. He then rolls over and covers himself in the blankets to go back to sleep. Directly afterwords, a large lightning strike touches down outside his window causing a massive boom that rung his ears, Gopher tunes out the storm and slowly but surely, drifts to sleep.
