Lost in Space

Plasma ray torpedoes fired...
how would I escape...?
Suddenly woken
from my nightmare...
bright light pouring in
to starboard window...
star sucked into black hole...
Magnificent!
Spaceometer reading 8 b ly...
CPS unit reading...
FAILURE!
A laugh out loud moment...
save for being lost...
at the edge...
of the universe.
