It's Lonely Out In Space - GenreShorties Prompt, Week #12

I float among the stars,
smile as I passed Mars,

Avoiding those asteroids,
like dodging big toys.

The sun was just too hot,
I kept in a distant spot.

My laptop floated away,
but I'm here to stay.

I miss my human race,
It's lonely out in space.
