5500 Years From Home

In addition to the 250 plus Lyrical Pieces that I have written and received Copyright Protection from the Library Of Congress - I have, also, written a Novel (copyrighted but not Published) entitled 5500 Years From Home. I am currently working on a 2nd Book entitled The Island that I am about 1/2 the way towards completion, at this date.

I have decided to, occasionally, post excerpts from 5500 Years From Home in this Blog space.

Today, we peruse the 1st page of Chapter 2 - Page 10.

Enjoy !

5500 YEARS FROM HOME

chapter Two ... page 10

Parts Unknown

On another plane, in another dimension, seemingly far, far away, an object is hurtling through the void. At the controls is a creature not too unlike ourselves. A problem has occurred within the craft that is causing mass difficulty. Rattling is being heard throughout the mechanical structure. The buzz is woofing mightily as the humming has become deafening. It is, now, obvious that the problem is too serious to be corrected at the current time and location. Getting away would not be easy.

A giant collapsed sun seems to be sucking the Heavens right out of the void. The Orb is fighting for it’s very existence. Gauges are spinning and lights are flashing as sight becomes nearly nonexistent. What seems to be ultra high technology is doing battle with God. The task is formidable as well as mysterious.

The unidentified Orb Man encounters his equipment using some form of telepathy. No sounds are uttered although the craft is causing many different audible noises. It is obvious that some form of communication is taking place.

A large icy comet that is over fifteen miles in diameter and weighing in excess of forty million tons has been sucked into the Black Hole. It has disappeared as if it were a sunflower seed in the mouth of a hippopotamus. The comet’s tail has been pulled up and over the comet into the absence appearing much like smoke being sucked into the hose of a vacuum cleaner.

The Orb Man is piloting an extremely small vessel that has a minimum of speed. It surely cannot outrun the inevitable draw of catastrophic proportions. Maybe the unidentified traveler can maneuver his craft in behind the gravitational tug.

No one has ever survived a Black Hole nor has any matter. It’s the mystery of God’s back door that Scientists are wrestling with. What happens upon entering the absence of once existing mass.
