A Short SF Vignette - The Hidden Scrolls of Mars (Earth Time, 100,000 BC)

"I hope, nobody finds these writings! If one does, it means someone else between Earth and Mars or some other planet has been here, and God help them if they have no way off this planet. That is to say, they'll most likely have to face these awful solar winds and storms which you will find out are quick and intense. They have stripped away most of Mars' atmosphere, edged rock formations, rivers. I am the last person left here, most of us left, escaped to earth a decade ago. Earth is quite primitive to our race yet it is rich with life. We look more like the Cro-Magnon, and they, well, only time will tell, I venture to say, an earlier stage of mankind.

A Short SF Vignette - Pluto Waiting! ((A Primitive Story) (in Poetic Prose))

I live, on the planet Pluto. I live like mist, vapor in a kind of impregnable bright bubble, as thick as the old walls of Troy. Waiting, I'm always waiting, it is all I know. I see the cold stars of night and the glitter of the sun- At times I see the blue planet called Earth, it is nearly as old as Pluto. It is hard for me to explain who I am, when I really don't know what I am, or how I came about. I need comparisons! And I know of none! Thus, I cannot explain. I am lonely and old, I know that.

Flung From Pluto (Quantum Ripples in Time)

I live in the present as most people do here on earth if not everyone, which can be referred to as pragmatism, or logic, although I have experienced, as have my countrymen, what is theory to humans, and common practice to us: stemming from the present into the past, as well as into and perhaps the future. I am stirred for the most part by the here and now? what I'm accustomed to, even though I have come to realize the present and the future are well-appointed by God. Let me explain where what I am leading up to:

A Short SF Vignette - Far Boundaries of Gravity (Silas Caine)

The planets, move around the sun, and the sun with all its planets and moons, thereof, revolve forevermore, or so it appears on their straight and narrow orbits, as the universe pours out with care its widespread gravity, like manna. Gravity, the thing that keeps our solar system activated, our galaxy in motion. In essence, the universe's black energy, black matter. Should a star collapse, we know it's an act of gravity, to a certain extent, as then a black hole is ready to be created if not already created, to swallow that dead star, whole. Yes, the hand of providence has provided a waste basket, for its surplus. Put another way, gravity shapes space and time, has energy, creates a reaction, produces a black hole, if not a wormhole that may develop into a black hole, or a black hole acting like a wormhole.

Black Moon Widows

Kerberos, orbits 60,000-km planet Pluto; Pluto which has five moons, and in comparison in distance, Earth being 93-million miles from the sun, Pluto, is 4-billion miles from Earth. But Kerberos is where our story leads us. It is the most obscure of the five moons I do believe, all being nearby the Kuiper Belt. Kerberos' largest lobe is but 8-km across and its smaller lobe being only 5-km across.
