Captains log 5am: I was right I regret last night. I am tired hungry and have to be at my ship soon. The shower helped me sober up. I have also questioned why they sent me on this mission I'm not qualified in any way;so why did I accept? *end of captains log*
Captains log 6.11am: I have arrived at the ship my faithful crew was awaiting me to step onto the ship first. The crew is larger Than I had anticipated;the sound of their laughter is filling the cabin, the chatter is warm and happy very enjoyable. The other crew members seek sleep bit I don't think they will find it. Oh do u hear that the ships already taken off we are now on our way to their destination. *end captains log*
Captains log 7.23am: we have crashed on a strange frigid planet searching for supplies to fix the ship and rations for our men. All the food here is made of cockroaches;our men are desperate so they have managed to choke it down. But for myself I was lucky enough to bring a few small packs of food from my home planet. I don't know how much longer we can go or how much farther it is but I am determine to leave no man behind. As for air it's freezing several of our men have frostbite we are looking for a medical center but I don't think we will find one in time *end captons log*
Captons log 7.37am: we have fixed our ship few of our men are sick from the food. Two of didn't make it a rival ship appeared there was nothing I could do. We retreated some still frost bitten my first mates toes are now snapping off I myself have contracted a disease we don't know of it's origin all we can do is pray. I have also heard of mutiny on the ship I am afraid. I don't know what to do;I'm sending spies to see who is trying to over throw me. Otherwise everything ha gone well. I miss my home planet though I can't wait for my return I hope that I will return soon to you but I don't ill make it. If I don't just remember me move on and know that I always loved you. *end captains log*
Captains log 8.18am: we have found him, the one wishing to take over my ship. He was a stowaway no one noticed him, he worked hard so no one complained, no one called him out, he charmed many. Now I don't know who I should trust. I suspect I've been poisoned;I expect an assassination attempt soon. I can't sleep without barricading my door and even then I worry about my safety. My sickness is steadily increasing if it continues I will have I take drastic measures. Each ship has a healing chamber, but it takes so much energy that is not used often for small illnesses. I can't even trust my first mate and this worries, if I can't trust him then I can trust no one. I feel I won't wont make it home I won't die on the soils of my ancestors I won't get to see you again;I'm so sorry. If I don't make it back my last thought will be of you and home. *end captains log*
Captains log 8.55am: we have made it to the tournament the battle will be long hard I hope we will be prepared. I'm afraid for them they don't know what they are being forced Into. They are brave souls standing along with me for our home planet. I pray to the gods that everyone that's left will survive this trip and make it home to their loved ones even if I don't. Please gods be merciful and protect us. *end captains log*
Captains log 9.14am: we are in the arena there are so many here;many Asians we did not expect this big if a crowd there are so many people from different planets even universes it will be a good experience if I survive there is one crew member I have starts to dislike. I wonder if he is responsible for the possible uprise I don't like him he mocks me. Should I dispose of him? *end captains log*
Captains log 9.34am: my crew has gone off for the first testing. It will test their mental capacity;I myself have been left to take care of some special detail I wish them luck in their mission*end captains log*
Captains log 10.30am: went exploring with a few members of the crew we mapped the area. This planet is warm and sunny slight chill to the wind. Nothing here seems to be dangerous but still I have not found medical attention I need *ends captains log*
Captains log 11:08am: they have returned they seem to be brain dead. They are now eating better food than we had before by far. I'm further weakening I don't think I can hang much longer *end captains log*
Captains love 12.17am: we have met with others of our home planet and are sharing a common delicacy though I am not feeling up to eat much I blame the disease that plagues me. It's nice though to hear the happy yells and chatter over the dessert. I'm dreaming of home and my beloved more and more I fear the gods will not grace me today *end captains log*
Captains log 4.13pm: we have left the planet we won nothing. The crew is tired the mutiny is resolved. We are all thirsty hungry. I myself have begun to feel better maybe my disease was merely just a cold of some sort we will stop for fuel and liquids soon. Maybe I will make it home after all praise the gods. *end captains log*
Captains log 6.29pm: we have returned safely only two of our men lost in the whole journey. But even though my men are safe from harm i fear now I'm not. I sit on this hill of my childhood where I frolicked and played. This is the place I want to be;the place to remember all the good times I lay back and watch the sunset on my beautiful planet on the soil of my ancestors. I knew I didn't have time so I came here; I didn't want my loved one to see me like this weakened. Here in my final moments I sit here an watch the sunset as my own flame flickers out. I smile as I finally slip away and die. *final captains log*
this was basically my trip to a math competition.....kinda.....

I like it. Very intriguing, and especially interesting with the mutiny and the captain's ailment. The grammar was a bit off, but that's always a work in progress. All in all, very good work!

If you're interested, I'm actually the admin of a writer's forum (here; [link] ), mainly for science fiction and fantasy. We're looking for new members, and I think you might fit in rather well there. Either way, keep up the good work! :D
