Prison in a loop

Earth, in 2222 doesn't exist anymore, well not as we always knew it. After the A.I. era, the world went on a nuclear rampage. A nuclear war that nobody knew who started it, but it went on for about ten years, just enough to destroy all the big cities and polluted the water sources. There are fires still burning some buildings in big cities like New York, Washington and San Fran. And it's like that all around the Earth.

That's when a lot of us went to outer space to live peacefully. They were already spaceship going and coming in and out of Earth atmosphere. After the disaster of the Mars project, NASA started to concentrate all of her money and effort to clean the Earth orbit. That's why people started living in space.

I live on my vessel, my life, my love, Evelyn is the name of my ship, she's everything to me. It's a garbage ship, we collect the debris, those non-functioning satellites, or the old ship parts floating in space. We recycle those parts, that's how we make a living out here. Believe me, there are a lot of parts adrift in Earth's orbit. I have a crew with me operating this ship. A crew of nine men, and women no children aboard. That's my number one rule. After fifteen years in space grabbing all sorts of parts, it's like a second nature of ours, everyone in my crew knows what they have to do. Where slowing down, my guess is there's a ship floating in space with serviceable parts we want to grab from this wreckage. I told my crew to scan for living organisms but, they already did it. no sign of life, but there is something wrong. The scan picks up something like a female voice in the ship but, no sign of life. It can't be A.I. They're not allowed in space. Half of the ship was destroyed with some kind of a blast, maybe a meteor rained something powerful.

My chief commander tells me that is some kind of countdown. By the time I realized what it was. It was too late for us, too close we couldn't do anything except run in the opposite direction. The wreckage ship explodes in a second. The blast destroyed my ship and killed all of my crew, stuck in the back of what's left of Evelyn, in prison in my own vessel. I can't get out floating in space.


Two hours left of Oxygen. I think I died in that meteorite rain because I couldn't re-live this blast over and over again. This time, I won't restart the engines. I will see what happens next. He lays down on the bed and waits. An alert flashes on the control screen. Zero percentage of oxygen. The ship will destroyed in ten minutes, and the countdown starts now.


A ship comes up to Evelyn's side. Inside that ship, Marc tells his crew to shut down the engines, and we are going to collect what we can from the wreckage vessel. Scan for life forms. No life on board Sir, says his chief commander. Wait I hear a countdown.

three, two, one.....


The vessel exploded into millions of pieces. The blast kills all of my crew team.
