Thursday, August 28 - "Space, 2199"


December 31, 2199, our galaxy as we know it is coming to an end. The Milky Way is collapsing upon itself by its own super massive black hole. It is up to the last two humans in the universe to stop it. IF, they can get along. Nora, the super brilliant scientist, has studied galaxies for seven years now, and she has discovered only a few things about super massive black holes. she will need help from her partner Hank, who doesn't really care either way, he just wants to do his own thing.

 

They travel to the nearby Andromeda galaxy, home of the highly intelligent, immortal, tall, and stunningly beautiful space elves. As they came to a stop at Aniuel, one of the homeworlds of the Space elves, Hank spotted something, He yelled at the top of his lungs. Nora came toward the yelling, only to find that he beat himself at chess, and lost. Nora ignored it afterward, and went to communicate with the residents of Ainuel for answers on how to save the Milky Way.

“The only way to save your home is to go backward in time,” the High ruler spoke,

“For something was planted in the core of your galaxy, before your race even knew of space travel.”

“When is that?” Nora asked the High ruler.

“Twenty Fourteen, on the day your homeworld’s moon, and the neighboring red planet, were the same brightness in the sky.”

So Nora and Hank left Ainuel, with passengers from the planet to guide them to the time portal. Hank began to talk to himself about if he thought this would work at all, and how it didn’t even matter. Nora was wondering what this portal was like, and what the year 2014 was all about.

After reaching this “portal”, Nora discovered it was a wormhole, the first she has ever encountered. So they sped through on their spaceship. Back to 2014.

 

So there they were, at the center of the Milky Way, in year 2014, the day it started to collapse. They found a strange space vessel, beetle shaped with seven horns on the back. It launched a tiny green dot toward the black hole.

“this is it!” Nora exclaimed, while Hank was doing nothing about it, instead, in his paranoid ways, started singing randomly.

So the Space elves and Nora came up with a plan to stop the green dot from reaching the super massive black hole. It would require a sacrifice.

“Hank! See that ball in the sky? Go to the escape pod and get it for me please!”

“Why do I need to do that? I don’t want to.”

“Well, would you do it for money?”

“NO.”

“would you do it for…. A Scooby snack?”

“Oh wow really? Okay, but don’t expect me to like it.”

 

So Hank gets into the escape pod, flies to the green dot and explodes. Nora and the Space elves go back to 2199, just in time for New years celebration!

 

And most of them lived happily ever after. A short while into the future, in a galaxy too familiar.

  1. This was a very cute and creative story! I liked the humor provided with Hank, and I also liked how the story progressed. Maybe add a little more detail in place of the humor in order to create more interest, but other than that, great job!
