WP - You Are On The Space Station and Earth Implodes

I feel the heat. I hear the screams. In space, unlikely. Home, for everyone i've known and never known, is gone. This group of experts, astronauts, scientists, and politicians is all that remain. Then there's me, a lottery winner. I should have stayed with the rest of them. I only entered the damn thing for the cash prize. Money won that means nothing now. 
 Leading up to the lottery, everyone thought they had a chance. A 1 in 7 billion chance for a trip to the ISS and 50 million dollars cash upon return. Sound too good to be true? 
 After it settles in, Dr. Lewis gathers the last survivors of Earth. He starts off by listing the possible reasons why the planet imploded. I listen to his words, but do n't really hear what he is saying. 
 `` This could have been prevented...'' he finishes. The only words I truly heard. 
 I knew in my mind that we had a few weeks, maybe months until we would run out of supplies. So did they. Then what? We were only delaying the inevitable. There was nowhere to go.
