Center of Astro-Science Achievements

Derek was mopping the floors of an Astro-Science lab, as he was the custodian who worked the night shift. Though he was used to the place being empty and dark at nights, tonight was different. Tonight the egg-heads were showing off their latest experiment, being able to create and sustain man made black holes. Derek himself found interested in the project as well, even though he was nowhere near as smart as the scientists who usually fill this facility, science was still his favorite subject. He decided that once he finished this hallway, he would go to the auditorium and get a quick look at the experiment as well. It didn't take him long to finish the hallway, he took his mop and bucket and began to trudge towards the auditorium. He was able to sneak in right as the lead scientist was concluding his long and tedious speech explaining the process of how they discovered how to make the holes, and onto the experiment itself. Derek could see many important people and reporters there taking pictures of a strange device covered by a sheet.

"Ladies and Gentleman, without further ado... Allow me to create the very first, man-made black hole on Earth!" The lead Scientist yelled as one of his assistants pulled off the sheet. It was a large tube made of glass with a weird machine attached to it. The lead scientist walked up to it, and lifted a switch, the machine soon kicked to life and made a loud but futuristic whirring sound. Right inside the tube, a small black dot began to form. The audience soon began to clap, and so did Derek.
"Normally, black holes this small are unable to keep shape and are destroyed within seconds, but we have found a way to sustain it, allowing us to finally observe a black hole, right here on earth!" The lead scientist presented, holding his arm in the air. More of the crowd began to applaud as more flashes from cameras quickly flashed, but Derek was the only one who could see that the black dot was getting bigger.

"What the...?" Derek said to himself as he narrowed his eyes. Soon the hole became as big as a golf ball. By now, more people had noticed, including the scientist. He turned the switch off just as fast as he turned it on, but that didn't seem to help none, soon the black hole was touching all sides of the tube, being the size of a soft ball. Many people began to stand up, both out of curiosity and fear.

"It's ok Ladies and Gentleman, this is all under control!" The lead scientist assured the people, but the sudden shatter of the tube quickly told a different story. A hard force began to pull at the audience, causing many to be sent into a panic. Many darted for the door, including the scientist who by now was just as frightened.

Derek was cut off from the door as a wave of people scrambled towards the exit. Derek could only watch as the black hole got bigger, now the size of a beach ball and getting bigger. When Derek had an opening to flee, he took it, but the scared gentleman in front of him slung the door hard behind him, thinking the door would shield his back. But instead the door hit Derek right in the face, causing him to stumble backwards and land on his back. The rest of the crowd ran past him until he was the last one in the auditorium. Blood trickled out his nose as he sat up. He looked behind him before completely turning his body to see the black hole, it was now the size of a van. The space around the black hole began to twist and distort as the gravity began to bend the light around it. As the front row seats were torn from the ground and were then swallowed by the hole. Derek could feel the force begin to lift him off the ground. He grabbed the nearby seats to keep him grounded. His vision slowly became darker and darker and time slowed slower and slower. The air was sucked out of the room, slowly suffocating him. Eventually he fainted, his entire vision going black.

Eventually the black hole could not sustain itself anymore, and with a quick zap, it collapsed in on itself. When it was all over, the lead scientist stepped into the auditorium, surveying the damage. The seats had been torn from the ground, and the wood floor underneath where the hole was had splintered as the boards broke off and were sucked up. Other than that, he saw nothing else, not even a person. He hoped no one had gotten seriously hurt, as he stepped back out, he noticed a mop and bucket just outside the door, with no one around it.
