Excerpt from "Dark Star" by J. Carpenter (and sorry if it's little).
Doolittle: "Talby, I feel drawn to the planet. I'm heading straight for it."
Talby: "When it hits the atmosphere, it will start to burn."
Doolittle: "What a magnificent way to die. Like a shooting star."
Talby: "I agree... Lieutenant, I'm also being drawn to something, it's about an astral league away, it shouldn't have much mass. Hey! I think they're asteroids."
Doolittle: "Oh! Really?"
Talby: "They should be the Phoenix asteroids."
Doolittle: "Seriously?"
Talby: "Yes, it's her, it's the Phoenix. Lieutenant?"
Doolittle: "Yes!"
Talby: "I feel them pulling me more and more, I'm accelerating, soon the signal will weaken and vanish completely. I want to tell you that I liked you, Doolittle."
Doolittle: "I liked you too, Talby. Hey! The wreckage of the spaceship, it's coming at me!"
Talby: "Doolittle, they're catching me, I can't move anymore. Now I’m part of the Phoenix. It's incredible, I'll roam the Universe, forever, I won't dissolve into nothingness. This is also a beautiful death. Goodbye, and forever goodbye, if we meet again, I'm sure we'll smile."
Doolittle: "Hey! Talby, I've grabbed a piece of wreckage. You'll see that this time I'll make it..."
In other words: SpaceSurf in the atmosphere of a planet.
The End of Dark Star
