Needless to say I’m one of those who didn’t pass. There isn’t much to do each day as we await the asteroid, so some of us take the test again and again to improve our time. We all want to achieve our personal best.
To leave Earth you must pass a rigorous test. First you must run across a savannah with a lunar module strapped to your back. Then you reach a pedestal where you must solve a really difficult math problem without a calculator. Then you have to run back. If you’re time’s above the cut-off point, you’re stuck.

What a unique scenario. Reminded me a bit of 'On the Beach' where they were waiting for the radioactive cloud. Good 'un, Ian.

Why can't everyone be evacuated, not just the elite who reached their PB, before the asteroid. hits earth?

It’s a compact, but fun to read before bed time.

Please watch your spelling - it’s heartbreaking to read a 100 word story with poor spelling/grammar 🤦♀️ Comments are closed.
