The sun was creeping over the glittering ice-ridges of Europa’s surface when the eight trucks of the NASA Orpheus Mission convoy reached their dive point. Jupiter loomed ominously on the horizon, taking up a full third of the sky, its cream and orange ribbons boiling with the anger of some terrible magnetic storm. There, at the base of a rugged sulfur-stained ice cliff, was the pit. Ten meters wide, thirteen kilometers deep, bored by five years of orbital lasers and nuclear heat-probes, it was now finally complete, mouth grinning open to swallow its first human explorer.

Star Date: 08.10.3010 I sat up abruptly, gasping for breath on the rusty metal floor, blinking rapidly as the world came in around me. My hand shook as it clutched a fist full of the torn, damp shirt over my heart; trying to stop its wild racing.
Brea L HolmesPublished 3 years ago in FuturismThe Black Notebook of Power
During a snow-filled day in December, the snowflakes fell onto the soft powder that already formed over the winter season; a lady named Angela was out walking and in a cute way playing in the snow. Once Angela was finished frolicking, she stumbled upon a little black notebook with the inscription, "Within this book contains the power to make a change with purpose." Angela proceeded with childish curiosity and picked up the book, and then, she opened it. To her amazement, the book was a blank slate, a tabula rosa, if you will, as if it were a blank journal that someone dropped from their backpack after school. Angela watched the first page, and the book started to inscribe, "Angela's Journal of Purpose." Angela was in shock and began to gaze at the inscription. She could not believe her own eyes. "The book seemed as though something was possessing the book," she thought to herself. Then, out of nowhere, a sort of spiral appeared, and a small figure of a gnome type of image appeared as a sort of projection from the book and said, "Angela, my dear, you are one lucky lady. This book was the Magical Journal of one of the greatest wizards of all time. He left this book here for you to find and make the world a better place. Still, first, you must prove to everyone that you are now one of the greatest witches of all time by requesting from the book that you win the lottery as proof that you are capable of some of the most awesome and greatest magic in the world!" The gnome disappeared almost as fast as the gnome appeared. There was a picture of the gnome on the second page with the gnome's thumbs-up, and she was still winking at Angela, who was in absolute disbelief.
