[WP] Astronauts in orbit on the ISS watch a 10km asteroid impacting earth. | I had a very powerful dream some years back that was very similar to this, except rather than the ISS we were on the moon. If you like I can post the journal entry/short story I wrote for it after I woke up. | 3 | 0 | 25 | 22,384 |

[WP] Astronauts in orbit on the ISS watch a 10km asteroid impacting earth. | I hate to say it, but it was beautiful in some odd primal way. The rock, barely a speck from here, slammed into the earth and simply vaporized. A cloud of red and black erupted, the entire world covered in a shock wave. Molten rock shot into the air, some of it nearly hitting us, and sprayed back down in a tidal wav... | 3 | 0 | 25 | 22,386 |
[WP] Astronauts in orbit on the ISS watch a 10km asteroid impacting earth. | "Tom," the voice said, static crackling over the intercom.
Expedition 55 commander, Tom Sparks, opened his eyes in his sleeping chamber. He was confronted with his own reflection; deep lines in the corners of his blue-grey eyes, set beneath graying, close-cropped hair. He tried to blink away the momentary disorienta... | 3 | 0 | 25 | 22,387 |
[WP] Astronauts in orbit on the ISS watch a 10km asteroid impacting earth. | I've actually wondered how long the ISS could survive if they could grow there own food. With unlimited power I imagine water would be the determining factor in their survival. | 2 | 0 | 25 | 22,388 |
[WP] Astronauts in orbit on the ISS watch a 10km asteroid impacting earth. | From here, Earth looks as breathtaking as it ever has. Normally a hectic mix of blue and white intermingled with one another, it's turned now to an exotic dance of reds and yellows, splashed like an abstract painting across the globe. Where there was once a familiarity, everything now looks different. It's refreshing, ... | 2 | 0 | 25 | 22,389 |
[WP] Astronauts in orbit on the ISS watch a 10km asteroid impacting earth. | I don't remember the first few moments. I do remember thinking, "It's up to us."
In instant all of it was gone. Everything the entirety of our past had led up to was immediately destroyed, and with it, Selby and I became the sole speakers for the human race, left alone to shoulder the remaining knowledge of our people... | 2 | 0 | 25 | 22,390 |
[WP] Astronauts in orbit on the ISS watch a 10km asteroid impacting earth. | How something moving so quickly could feel so *slow* is what got to me the most. The waiting.
Proserpine they'd called it. Child of Ceres. An impact with an untracked Asteroid had birthed Proserpine from Ceres and sent her at an intercept path with Earth.

[PI] Departure From E-DoN - FEB CONTEST | I love some of the words you've created for this setting, the little tweaks on the ones we use that let us know that we're not in Kansas anymore. But I feel like it's a bit too much of a good thing--by the end of the first chapter I was suffering from name and new-word overload. So my suggestion is either to cull a f... | 3 | 0 | 12 | 22,393 |
[PI] Departure From E-DoN - FEB CONTEST | Hello! Your writing style is great: clean and elegant, not too elaborately wordy. The story reads like a fable. The setting, too, is very neat: I was picturing Neve's home as a sort of domed rural-Edwardian town. I loved the symbolism with the bee, and the little nods to the Adam and Eve story.
I do agree with /u/avri... | 2 | 0 | 12 | 22,394 |
[PI] Departure From E-DoN - FEB CONTEST | Great job with the worldbuilding. I've read fantasy novels that take much longer than that to make the world feel solid in my mind. The ending made me smile too. | 2 | 0 | 12 | 22,395 |
[PI] Departure From E-DoN - FEB CONTEST | I personally thought the "made up" words were wonderfully used and not overdone at all! They all clearly had thought put into their creation and use, and I also enjoyed how you used archaic words like "hale". Mal and Fem made me chuckle.
I loved your writing style overall, very slow-paced but not boring at all, just s... | 2 | 0 | 12 | 22,396 |
[PI] Departure From E-DoN - FEB CONTEST | I was so captivated in this story! I loved the words you created, the weird dialect all the dome-inhabitants used. The idea of the bees being a centrepiece in the story. All of it was so great! I found myself smiling at random times because of the originality of all of it.
If I might ask, how old are you?
Again, real... | 2 | 0 | 12 | 22,397 |
[PI] Departure From E-DoN - FEB CONTEST | No. Not biased, I just wanted to see if you've been writing for like 40 years now or if you're my age or what not | 2 | 0 | 12 | 22,398 |
[PI] Departure From E-DoN - FEB CONTEST | Amazing story, I really enjoyed it! I would respectfully disagree with some of the other people commenting here - I thought the strange, slightly archaic terms worked well. I was a little overwhelmed with how many you introduce in the first couple of pages - particularly the short conversation entirely in dialect - but... | 2 | 0 | 12 | 22,399 |
