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.

    I bet the laugh was short when being lost sank in on him! Nice one today from space today.

    jc, "...lost at the edge... of the universe" is kind of scary. Don't look down!

    Love this - a LOT.

    Namaste..........cj

    'lost at the edge of the universe' ... brilliant, yet terrifying at the same time ...
