OMG 666
This Year’s rock’s 5 miles across
and heading for Vienna.
Though it’s 10 light years away,
our scientists are clever.
We have the technology so no
cause for alarm.
Could lose a few old monuments,
but now we’re fully armed ….
We’ll perforate the sunset,and split that comet in
15…
We’ll twist it ,turn it ,blow the dust to China.
And all that’s in between…

Cameras rolling.Time to show them the appalling 2nd option.
Now Part 96, and nothing lives except
the Doctor. And ,Oh there’s us out here
on Station Yellow MOON.
Think I’ll make another round….
I will sing this loony tune.
Nah …..What’s up doc?
Nah,,,,,nothing much .I’m talking to myself too much
I’m drifting,

THE FLICK OF A SWITCH
Stop me if you have heard this one before. There was a Russian ,an American and a Chinese billionaire who liked adventure holidays. The plan was for 6 months in a space station orbiting the earth.Everything went absolutely smoothly for a 180 days and nights until that fateful moment in May when a massive solar flare provoked the end of the internet on that slowly spinning globe on the screen. The screen that turned blue , then black.A hum that became perceptible only by it’s absence. Three gasps in a language they shared then that long awkward silence.That …pause.
In this dayless, nightless environment , the measurement of time seemed imperative to the travellers’ sanity , but the digital calendar no longer worked.Time itself had been suspended and the 3 of them just , well, hovered,gesturing to one another.
Let’s pause for a moment…. a long moment.let’s pause for that moment where probability mutates into a myriad of possibilities. let’s pause for that moment when confidence dissolves into improbable hope. let’s pause for the moment which hasn’t happened yet, when service is resumed as normal.Let’s pause for a moment and take comfort in the fact that if you think of any number, you can always add 1.
