As Magnus sat in his small tent, he awaited his next client. For some reason today he wasn't getting many patrons. He pushed the sides of the openings of the tent open and looked outside. No one. He thought this was weird, mostly because this was one of the most popular tourist spots on the planet. The entire park and mountain range beside it was absolutely devoid of people. He looked to his right and saw that his fellow vendors were all huddled together around a small fire. He walked towards them. 
	"Hey uh, do any of you guys know where everyone is?"
	"You haven't heard?" Piped up the guy who sold cheap plastic sunglasses. He shook his head in disbelief but struggled to say it himself. "The planet's going to be destoryed."
	Magnus' eyes widened in panic. "Wait... you've GOT to be joking." The man shook his head. 
	The elderly lady who made horrid characitures spoke up with a shockingly optimistic voice. "My fried Ethel's coming to save us! She has a small ship that could pop on here and whisk us away! We just have to be patient!"
	"And you guys are just going to sit here and wait?"
	"Yes?" replied the Blornak who produced tasty Hujinubickers. 
	"Are you sure Ethel's going to be here?" Magnus asked.
	The elderly woman pulled up a giant brick-like telephone that was so heavy it almost crushed her hand under its weight. "Ethel? Ethel dear? It's me! Gladys!" On the other end you could hear someone reply, but Magnus couldn't pick up what she was saying. 
	"Ethel? Good you can hear me. Listen closely dear, ETHEL I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU DON'T GET US OUT OF HERE I'M GOING TO PERSONALLY MAKE SURE YOU DIE IN MY HANDS TODAY. DO YOU HEAR ME?" Gladys shouted. 
	Slowly the sky started to get brighter and warmer. The man who sold sunglasses handed a pair to each person. 
	"What's that?" asked Magnus.
	"It's Hany's Ribbon." he said.
	"She's almost here!" yelled Gladys, "So pack up your valuables, let's get out of here!" Everyone dispersed to their site. Magnus's tent closed easily like an umbrella for emergency situations. He moved back towards the campfire as he waited for everyone to finish up. The Sunglasses guy only picked up a basket of sunglasses, Gladys grabbed three paintbrushes. The Blornak didn't grab anything at all. A lone mariachi picked up a rock, not understanding the situation. And a guy made out of silver who had clothes painted on grabbed his gold statue. As the climate grew hotter and hotter everyone grew more and more distrust in Gladys. There were no alternative ways of escape, so she was everyone's last hope. 
	"SHE'S HERE!" Gladys yelled ominously as she saw the spaceship. It looked so poorly constructed it seemed that if everyone was going to get on, it might not take them out of orbit. The entire craft was about the size of a large van. It was entirely covered in various amounts of sheet metal and rust, with the words "The Ethelizer" written on the side in back paint. The cockpit was the only part that was exposed. Inside was a small elderly woman about the size of Gladys in a 1930's pilot uniform, with the googles and everything. As she lowered the space-van the amount of brightness and heat was getting worse. She opened the back, allowing the vendors to get in with their belonging. When it was time for Magnus to get on it seemed as though it was 120 degrees and as bright as someone holding a flashlight into your eyes. Gladys was right behind him. She was probably the worst person to be in this situation. In a flash, her body was absorbed by her enormous telephone, almost in a melting like fashion. 
	"Did she regress?" Ethel said in an annoyed voice. 
	"Maybe?" Magnus said. He picked up the phone and finally boarded the ship. On the sides of the interior were 8 seats on each side.
He handed the phone to Ethel and sat down in a chair between the lone mariachi and the gold statue. 
	"Hang on to your asses! We're about to go as fast as molasses!" Ethel screamed as she cranked the speed up to 100. Magnus had no idea how fast they were going, but it was so fast that Ethel couldn't tell what was ahead of her and they crashed into an asteroid. The glass of the cockpit broke into several pieces. The phone was the first to be pulled out into the empty void of space. Ethel was next, followed by Mariachi, the Sunglass Guy, The Blornak, the statue, the silver man, and Magnus. While being pulled out, he grabbed the tent. Once exposed to the cold, dead space he tried to use the tent as a makeshift blanket. But the small amount of warmth wasn't enough.
	"Shit." He said as he started to freeze.
