Prediction

This is my prediction essay about how I think the book Another thing would end.

And Another Thing is about a man named Arthur and his adventures through space. In this book, Earth gets destroyed, a god dies, Arthur’s wife falls in love with an immortal alien, and Earths new colony on Nano is saved by Thor sacrificing himself. Anything could happen in a crazy universe like this. This is my prediction about what will happen after all these events. The star-crossing lovers Tricia and Wowbagger should have to die, because Wow bagger has made half the universe angry, and well…everyone else would be envious of their happiness together.

In the dark abyss of space, a square-like alien spacecraft pulls itself sluggishly towards a colony of Earthlings on the planet Nano. Inside the ship, the aliens were eager to blow up a planet, especially after coming here once only to be thwarted by a god. The ugly aliens were giddy with excitement of finally exterminating the Earthlings after countless trips through hyperspace and back. As they loaded up first round of torpedoes and launched them out, you could probably hear them from the surface and just anticipate destruction.

Tricia MacMillan was off happily insulting every person in the universe with her true love, Wowbagger. Wowbagger was a green alien that was once immortal until Thor had hit him so hard that it went right out of him. Back in his days of immortality he would go around insulting nearly everyone in the universe in alphabetical order for no real reason. Wowbagger suddenly thought about what the point of this was. He went to Tricia and told her that they needed to go back to Nano. He just felt like he had to be there. In less than an hour, they had already reached the atmosphere of Nano, only to find a massive fleet of torpedoes coming right at them.
               
               
Rationale for Prediction
In space, anything could happen. Anything. Space doesn’t care if you’re the main character, they’ll kill you with a sandwich anyway. Stuff like this happens The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy. Earth was blown up right when the not-so-blessed Arthur Dent returned to his home planet. Although he managed to escape, his wife fell in love with a green immortal alien. With the assistance of Wowbagger the immortal, they made it to “a second Earth”. The relentless Vogons tried to blow up that planet too, but they were thwarted by Thor, the Thunder God, who blew up all their missiles. Everything was happy, but my prediction says something different. I believe that the new lovers should be sacrificed to save the people of Earth for a third time.

I think this prediction would be most accurate because in this series, the books tend to end very…unhappily. What better way to do that than kill off the new lovers? They could be happy together in heaven, or whatever religion they are.

Another reason I think it should end like this is because people hate Wowbagger. He tried to insult everyone in the entire universe..in alphabetical order. A lot of people Hate him. A lot of people want him dead. Ending it like this would make mostly everyone more happy.

I’m not being mean but Tricia and Wowbagger should get hit by a missile so they can go be all lovey-dovey in the afterlife. Everyone else could live their marvelous lives sipping on tropical drinks with little umbrellas in it while the sunshine adds a little flavor to the drink. Just think about it. Nothing good comes without giving something up.
