Bait (fiftywords)
Another flight through the wormhole.
Those before me, lost.
On the other side, a gaping maw, opens and closes.
So now I understand the starship's design. The tether.
A fish hook, for the thing bearing down.
The bastards are trying to pull it through.
They know.
And I'm the bait.

Interesting Sci-fi story you've got here. Haven't read one in a while and your image made the story worth reading too...
Nice bit of sci-fi there... 👍
Hey - thanks so much :)
Very cool imagery in this sci-fi take of the prompt. Well done @foxfiction
Thanks a lot! :)
Oh gosh. It’s no fun to be the bait! This is not going to end well for the character, whatever they catch (yikes!) and probably the ship itself. Cleverly done!
Thanks :)
Love the sci-fi angle! The image makes it all the more trippy and wanting to know more. All sorts of disasters await when they pull the thing through. Poor character.
Yup - they clearly haven't thought this plan through 😬
Beautiful written. Your use of words is amazing. Nice poem.
Nice 😁
Thanks :)
Very unpredictable. Never thought of using this word on a spacey context. Good job!
Thanks! (I think we posted on each other's simultaneously 😂)
Oh, I think we kind of did. Haha.
