Microfiction: Our Black Hole

the dark netizen's avatarThe Dark Netizen

It instantly became a hot topic of discussion.

Getting a real image of a black hole all those years ago, was a real achievement back then. People had gone bonkers about it. In the years to come, scientists continually observed the entity, hoping to learn more about it. Which they did.

They learned that contrary to their studies, the black hole wasn’t expanding, it was moving. It was moving towards our solar system. That became the top priority for all space-age countries. They worked together to develop a means to combat it. The culmination of the research stands in front of you – Our very own black hole. It will soon be launched at the invading entity.

Fighting fire with fire….

is where (the hole)

‘Is where …. the hole’ ….. by Frank Prem

Frank Prem's avatarFrank Prem Poetry

black hole

this is
the hungry heart
craving you
to slake a desire
fierce
so fierce
it is burning

this is
the burning soul
aglow
in the depths
of space
a spirit thing
in a place
that is all
of fire

hot coals burning
red and burning
yellow
dark spaces hiding
within

come within
the hunger awaits you
come
together
with your soul
come
within is the place
of worship

within
is where
you’ll worship

within is where
is where within
is
where

the hole

शून्यता

Read English translation in the Comments, if the language is unfamiliar…

hecblogger's avatarPlaying with words

आशा की कोई किरण छूती नहीं
किसी ज़ज़्बात की अनुभूति नहीं ।१।

नहीं अब उम्मीदों का बोझ मगर
शून्यता का भार कम चुनौती नहीं ।२।

गुज़रती थी हर राह तेरी ओर कभी
अब कोई सदा मुझको बुलाती नहीं ।३।

हो जाऊंगा एक रोज़ यूँ ही फ़ना अमित
होता था मैं चिराग, अब बाती नहीं ।४।

Unreliable

It carries all that is personal and close to my heart. It is the vehicle on which I ride. It is nice and exotic but unreliable. It shows me the doorways, but not the path. it takes a different direction from where I want to go. Ironically, I ride on what I can’t trust. Life … Continue reading Unreliable

I am not a fatalist. I’m not obsessed with darkness. Yet, a landmark development in astronomy this week inspires me to remain on the periphery of the theme, but not get sucked inside.

See if you can explore the science, give it a new twist, write a fairy tale or fables around it, or give it a totally new meaning. Black holes do not exist only in space. Many of us have those in our minds, when we cut ourselves off from the world.
FOR THE NEW ENTRANTS
There is no restriction on the length or format of the piece. Write a post on your blog, and link it up here…

Taking up Reena’s Exploration Challenge#82
by Reena Saxena. The challenge is to write based on above image of a black hole. This is my fictional contribution. Thanks for the mind prompt Reena.

The driver was completing his orbit, the length of the rotation diminishing with each circuit, soon he would be within the gravitational pull of the black hole. I had to do something. I flexed my hands and shoulders, relaxed my body and sat upright in the seat. Closing my eyes, I focused my mind, concentrating on the image of the driver. When I was sure I had a clear picture I opened a portal in my mind, and sent an energetically charged message through to him. Change course, change course, change course. I repeated this message for the next ten minutes, it did not seem to be getting through and my psychic powers were weakening. Frantically I recharged…
