Jumping in 3... 2... 1

Created as part of Project Dark

For those like Johnny, the hope of making it out on one of the jump gates relied solely on a government mandated lottery, a 1 in 100 000 chance of survival. For most, the lottery was little comfort to the unknown doom presented by the black hole, after all this time science had done little to fully understand the mysteries and mechanics of the space oddity. They stood at the edge of darkness, the void now clearly visible through the planet’s atmosphere, a gargantuan terror hanging in the sky.
