A Sci-Fi story hiding all 8 siblings


Here's why the red alert is on:

we're flushing down this black hole like a john.

But space-time singularities gone bad

are facts of life, there’s no use getting mad.

We'll only have to find a way to cheat her;

we know these G's she's pulling will not peter.

But don't despair! It wouldn’t help to chuck

out all our hopes we’ll get unstuck;

let's try this: open up the lone

engine housing. What’s that humming tone?

It’s growing louder, screaming like a banshee:

a hopeless fight against each thrust and G.

Let’s blow it up; we know we cannot save it.

In the shuttle! Disconnect the davit!

Blast off backwards in the explosion’s torrents,

pop the clutch when shifting à la Lorentz!
