[ WP ] The biggest twist ending you can conjure .

So i just found this sub and this is the first time i have written a story. Let me know what i need to improve on. 
 
 The familiar warmth, cracks and pops of a campfire that Ryan knew all too well were present much like every other weekend when the family gets together late at night. Various toys were laying out on the grass by Ryan as he laid on his back and observed the stars, the smell of grass filling his nose and the cool touch of the ground on his back. After an unknown amount of time passed Ryan took his eyes off the stars momentarily to reach for one of his toys on the ground next to him, a white space shuttle. Ryan held the shuttle above him to the stars and thoughts of landing on the moon and other space journeys filled his mind. The sound of water being poured over the fire to extinguish it for the night pulled Ryan from his daydream and half startled him. Time to go inside he shrugged and headed for his bedroom which was proudly decorated with anything involving space. Moments before falling asleep the last thing he saw were the glow in the dark spots on the ceiling that resembled stars. 
 
 After roughly 8 hours of sleep the annoying sound of the alarm clock rang throughout the hull and Ryan as well as his fellow astronauts worked their way out of their sleeping bags that held them securely in place. Ryan, usually being the first to be ready for the day lagged behind just enough to be noticed by his closest friend, John. 
 
 John: You okay Ryan? You seem a little sluggish today. 
 Ryan: Yeah.. Just more dreams of home. It feels like ages since i have seen my family. 
 John: Well what else can you expect when you spend 37 months in space? 
 
 Ryan cupped his face in his hands and groaned quietly while sliding his hands down and off his face. Proceeding to finish getting ready for the 14 hours of work ahead of him he stopped and took a moment to look at a picture of his wife, Grace, and his daughter, Sarah posing with him for a family photo. He could n't help but smile to himself before putting the picture back in his pocket. 
 
 Equipping the bulky space suit quickly turned that smile in to gritting teeth and frustration but before long he was full of joy doing what he loves the most. Floating freely in space repairing shuttles and equipment as they dock at his station. Over the radio communications system he heard the familiar warning of a possible asteroid floating within proximity to the station. Usually this is n't a problem because the station can easily move to avoid any object long before it arrives. Today was a little different though the station performed its maneuver and dodged a fairly large asteroid, about the size of a small home. A few moments later he heard John telling him there might be a flaw with the detection system and it would be best to get back inside till any issues could be sorted out. Ryan put his tools away before turning to head back inside the station but instead felt a sharp pain in his side before a sharp knock to the head knocked him out cold. 
 
 Ryan peeled his eyes open to the sound of frantic yelling over the radio and warning lights flashing all over the display in his suit. Looking around he saw his station slowly drifting away from him, or was he drifting away from the station? Looking around he saw the ship he was working on beside him. He quickly moved to the air lock door and entered the ship fighting the pain in his side that almost was enough to cripple him. After the room pressurized he moved his way out of the airlock before the door sealed behind him. Gasping in pain but safe, Ryan finally had the time to hear what people were yelling about and see what was wrong with his suit. He quickly noticed the crack in his helmet that was letting air escape and the meter that displayed only 50 seconds of oxygen left. 
 
 Tearing off his helmet and suit he took a look at his side to see what was causing him so much pain. Not finding anything he relaxed slightly realizing it must have just been an impact from something. Not moments after he finally noticed John was frantically trying to contact him on the radio. 
 
 John: Ryan are you okay?!? Are you there Ryan?!? 
 Ryan: Yeah i'm okay but hurt pretty bad. 
 John: Just hold on we will get a ship out to you as soon as we can. an asteroid hit the platform broke it in half. 
 
 Looking at the control panel of the ship he escaped to all he could see was red flashing lights and hazard symbols lit up on every screen making it clearly obvious the ship was n't going anywhere. Sitting in the captains chair to try and figure out what was wrong he saw something that brought a feeling of absolute dread to him. A symbol he could never forget. One of the most important he and his colleagues were taught. An issue with the air reserve was making itself well known on nearly every display with an estimated time left for the quickly depleting oxygen levels. One hour and 27 minutes at best. Just then Ryan heard johns voice again. He told Ryan it might be a while before any of the ships can get out do to mangled equipment out on the platform keeping doors from functioning properly. Ryan stared out of the window in front of him at the ever changing landscape for a few moments before withdrawing a picture from his pocket. A single tear rolled down his cheek as he held the picture to his chest almost as if there was a chance he could hug his family again. Drifting farther and farther away from the station was bad enough but the display that once said 1 hour and 27 minutes was losing a minute every few seconds. Ryan noticed this even before he withdrew the family photo. 
 
 Johns voice rang through the radio again assuring Ryan a ship would be out to get him in no more than 45 minutes. Ryan, now with tears flowing from his eyes tore the radio from his ears and walked back to the airlock knowing he was about to meet his end no matter how things went. But sitting in a chair waiting to die was too much. Sitting in the airlock not wearing any gear Ryan sealed the doors and waited patiently holding the photo in his hands. Just as the countdown reached to 1 for the airlock Ryan lifted his head up and saw another ship out of one of the small round windows just moments away from reaching him.
