No, I don’t think we should live in space because it is already hard enough to get all the equipment needed for traveling into space. No other planet besides Earth has what we need to survive as humans. There is no water or food on any other planets therefore we would probably starve to death or die of dehydration. Unless you live in a space shuttle for the rest of your life there is really no way of surviving in space.
<span>The description of Old Scratch infers he's a demon.... particularly the "great red eyes". The fact that he is "begrimed with soot" alludes to the fires of Hell. Would he frighten me? Defintely.</span>
you could write about someone travelling to a monestary/religious place, who encounters a monster. Should be supernatural enough to count as a "dangerous journey"
