INCIDENT ON A MOON
November 17, 2014
The night is pierced by a shaft of light rising from the barren landscape of the moon. You suit up and leave the ship to investigate. Trudging over a rise, you arrive at the perfect circular hole in the ground from which the beam of light towers away into the black sky. Moving closer, you observe a spiral stairway winding down beyond sight into the depths. Without hesitation you make your way, cautious and hyper alert, down. After every three twists in the spiral, you discover dull metallic grey doors opening into perfect cube rooms, all of them empty. Deeper and deeper you go until you arrive at a shiny jet black door. Now we’re getting somewhere, you think. You open the door. There she is. You die.
