Exploration: 2-line Spooky Stories from the Black

[thehairymob]

Fuelless ship
skelital pilot
drifting.

 

[Ancipital]

The whispering stopped as the canopy blew.
Which was nice.

 

[hort_wort]

Canister marked 'biowaste' 2000 LY in the black.
I'm SO desperate for a taste of home...

 

[Fen Harel]

I realize how alone I am, how homesick, so very far from Sol.
And once more, I plot a course a little bit farther out.

 

[Metalstardust]

The lunatic retrieval drones will be docking shortly.

 

[jmp470]

500LY out! Wife finally stopped nagging

 

[AJ_Impy]

The purring of the ship's cat comforts me
through my soundproof helmet.

 

[The Natoorat]

I opened in-cockpit mini bar.
It's empty.

 

[Zulu Romeo]

Personally I think Haiku would be better

A strange troubling noise
Scooping in the glowing sky
A crying baby

Emergency stop.
Canopy integrity
at fifty per cent.

 

[Fen Harel]

I smile as I fly over the icy moon, so much like a hundred billion others.
So ordinary, but never to be seen by any human other than myself.

 

[Freebird]

I'm 1000 ly out,
and a shadow just crossed my canopy

 

[Levik]

I wanted a screen shot of a view from a gas giants ring. My cat wanted to make it more exciting.

 

[Xaraman]

Emergency stop.
Canopy integrity
at fifty per cent.

Lovely

 

[Polusk]

Three weeks of jumps and it is still noisy, my engine never stops to whistle at me....
Whistle whistle I'll go crazy, except if I blow this fragile canopy.

 

[YoBuck]

Great thread.

 

[Scal]

Fuelless ship
skelital pilot
drifting.

This one actually gave me goosebumps!

 

[Sentience]

I hear beeping behind me.
The coffee maker ran out.

(hey you said horror)

 

[Sigon]

I stare into the deepness that is Sagitarius A*.
It is whispering and I know I'll be able to hear it if I get just a little bit closer....

 

[Cruel_R]

I reach out for toilet roll...there's just an empty cardboard tube.

 

[Top Cat]

I'm used to seeing my reflection in the canopy.
Im not used to seeing it blink.
