Exploration: 2-line Spooky Stories from the Black

The low thunder of super cruise has always bothered me without the lightning.
Then one day I saw a flash come from behind my seat....

AJ_Impy · Apr 15, 2015

I had to jettison the animal meat into the void.
They're not slaves. I can't think of them as human slaves...

Zulu Romeo · Apr 15, 2015

Like Human nature,
The bright Galactic Core hides
A heart of darkness.

I just emergency dropped in the mass lock of a black hole.
I'm pushing full thrusters but the reflection of myself in front of me isn't getting any closer.

Grail Hammerstien · Apr 16, 2015

The only twinkle in those frozen eyes,
Is the reflection from that shattered canopy

Is that alien life on the comms, growling?

Or my fuel pump, dying...

Grail Hammerstien · Apr 16, 2015

She stares at me across the inky void

With one too few layers of glass between us

There's something black moving across that dark nebula, blocking the stars behind it while crossing.

Scanner shows nothing...

Similar to the narrative I'm forming in audio format since March

A sound of something being uscrewed...
Should I have scooped up those strange looking canisters?

5PIDER · Apr 16, 2015

The event horizon.
Nothing can escape.

TriumphANT · Apr 16, 2015

My canopy cracks. A whisper of cloth.
Behind me The Reaper stands impartial.

Tesla3E · Apr 16, 2015

I glanced in the mirror and found nothing staring back.
Too far out for too long.

Microblitz · Apr 16, 2015

Where's my co-pilot disappeared to? He was there a minute ago! ...

My circuit's dead
There's something wrong

Can you hear me, Major Tom?

Tesla3E · Apr 16, 2015

Thrumm..thrumm..thrumm.. the noise is driving me crazy.
Maybe if I turn off life support I will find some peace.

I hear a tap-tap-tapping at the door.
Should I open it to see who is there?

i bet it will be a vulture, not a raven...

Lasers are draining my ships shields, Solid metal starts to boil...
I was so sure to have asked for permission to dock...

AsukaZ · Apr 16, 2015

I hear bumping and feel jostling, scanner and eyes reveal nothing.
The souls of the dead claw at my ship as I pass them by, they whisper "Come join us"

Nothing can live in witch space.
Yet there was this faint distress call, from a ship that went missing centuries ago.
-
Nothing can live in witch space.
So how do you explain those claw marks I found on the hull?
-
Nothing can live in witch space.
But it sounds like it's whispering.
-
Nothing can live in witch space.
But sometimes when I emerge, I'm not sure that I'm still alone.

I donned a spacesuit and left my ship for an emergency repair.
When I got around to the cockpit, I was still inside.
