Her world fell apart.

Judy Schkia was an astronaut. Launched from Florida by NASA in the year 2002, her ship blew apart shortly after entering space. With luck she managed to be the only survivor, losing her friends, her family, and everything she knew. See, what was left of the ship got sucked into a worm hole and she ended up way across the universe 1000's of years into the future. She landed on a planet of intelligent beings who were only 3 feet tall. They found her ship and nursed her back to health. Several years later, realzing that she did not age on this planet, she learned to live among them and eventually became their queen. Hundred's of years later, after many of their race grew old and died, they renamed the planet after her, Schkia's World. For many thousands of years they lived in happiness but unknown to them their sun was going to blow up. One day, as Judy walked in her gardens of turquoise trees, grey grasses, fucia flowers and crimson clouds she looked up and watched as her salmon sun turned orange then disappeared. The sound was deafening. And as she stood with a look of shock forever on her face, Judy's world fell apart.

In the real world, Judy is a 12 year old girl whose parents just died in a horrible car crash. Judy had no family and had to live in a foster home with evil parents. She became so depressed as her world fell apart around her that she committed suicide.
