Assignment
Title your narrative "The Cold Equations"-Changing the Ending. Base your response on the following prompt and instructions.
You are a researcher in the year 2196. You discover some pages of an ancient textbook containing a short story called "The Cold Equations." However, the final pages are missing. The last bit of text you can read is Marilyn's "I'm ready" on page twenty-seven. Write a plausible resolution for the story that is different from the present ending. Suppose you are an optimistic researcher. Is it possible to find a happy ending?

Criteria: Your ending must be believable but you are encouraged to be creative in how you fashion the new resolution. Your finished piece should naturally have the "feeling" of the conclusion of a story; remember that if you write dialogue, quotation marks and proper punctuation should be used as well as paragraphing for each new speaker.
