Contest Write a story using this prompt by potaytee at Story write

I was lying there staring at the starry blackness above me. What am I doing here? I've made a terrible mistake.

********

Can you write a story that starts like this or has this in it somewhere?

Anything goes as long as it isn't too long, maybe less than 3000 words. It can be as short as you like. Any content.

Please make it well written though. You will be more likely to win if it has good grammar and spelling.

I will add more points as I need to.

Thank you!

Can we make minor changes to the prompt to reflect the voice of the narrative? I'm not talking any major changes, just minor words being put in...
