It was foretold in the Not-So-Alive Sea Scrolls. Nostrabamus, The Balls-of-Crystal Prophet wrote about it in his Dreams of Forgotten Tomorrows book. Mayans said that "When the sun goes black, a new sun will rise and They will come back to us". Or that's what the experts believe the Wall of Palenque says. But they're wrong. That's no sun. And "They" are not coming back. What's coming is a shot from a death ray fired, by mistake, from a star system 45 LY away… #WritingPrompt

The SETI Institute confirmed the rumors today that they have found intelligent life and received a message from it. Institute experts say it decodes as, "Well this is awkward. Sorry!"

The day, you were born, the moon eclipsed the sun and darkness fell upon the land. The animals began to howl and people went to church and prayed for no reason, just to be sure. The clocks on the walls paused whereas watches began to race like hunted by the devil himself. There was a strange smell of incense and honey in the houses, but outside, the air stood still and a ghostly silence paraylzed the world. Water turned into wine, bread a and meat decayed to an slimy green mass. Strange objects appeared in the sky.
Rumours arose that the king ordered all newborn babies to be slain, so your parents placed you into a little willow basket and set it on the river, hoping someone with a good heart will find you. That’s the reason why you never met your real parents, but it’s only half of the story. You have a sister and together, you are destined to overthrow the Old Empire and rule in peace until the world stops turning. #writingprompt
Las Vegas, April 8, 2033. After 17 years of twilight, day and night will return to the city. The permanent shade installed to curb the pervasive heat and increase casino income will be retired when the contract expires next month. "As money has moved to orbital casinos, we cannot sustain it anymore" declared the mayor in front of a stunned council.
The city will try to reinvent itself as a solar energy hub by installing a mirror array to have sunlight 24 hours a day.
"Eclipses can't get 'stuck'. Orbits don't work that way. If you put the moon in a geosynchronous..."
"Been three hours so far."
"..."
"Yeah."
"Wait a sec. I've gotta make a call. ... Hey Janice? ... Have you been down in the basement? ... You know that dusty light switch on the far wall? ... No, the pantry light's the other one. I need you to flip the one on the left. ... Yes, please. Now."
