The Night Of The Comet

Comets, meteors and asteroids travel through the galaxies
of outer space, and often pass by Earth on many occasions,
when a comet get's too close to earth it could cause a
cataclysmic result, even to the extent of the extinction of
all life on planet Earth, Halley's Comet visits our planet

once every seventy five years, it's last sighting was in 1985.
when it was very difficult to observe, but way back in 1910
it was a totally different story, many people thought it was
the end of the world, as it came closer and closer to the Earth.
People on the ground seeing this disturbing sight were saying

"it's getting larger and it is so bright" others were saying "It's
doomsday we are all going to die" the old man says "It will
veer off, It will not hit us" a little girl looks to the sky and says
"Hold me daddy I am scared", minutes later the comet veers
off back into outer space, the old man says, " I told you we

would be safe it happened like that when I first saw the comet
back when I was only twenty years old". The world is once again
safe, and the comet will not return for another seventy five years.
