Space part II - A Momentary Lapse - A Fifty Words Story
Space Trilogy
This is the 2nd part of my planned fifty words trilogy. Part one can be found here
Looking forward to seeing next week's prompt, no idea where it will take us for the finale :o)
The pale blue dot danced slowly behind his back as it circled the sun. A perfect pirouette.
As it dawned on him, the darkness and emptiness of space swallowed him whole. Partial paralysis, but fleeting.
He had forgotten to secure the hatch.
Cancer cured - but now a prisoner of carelessness.
That was my attempt to tell a story in just 50 words with the prompt of "Hatch", and was a continuation of this story
Thanks for taking the time to read it - I hope you enjoyed it. You can find some more of my stories and posts here if you want to drop by
A huge thanks to @jayna for this great outlet.
Peace Out

Hope the laddie was holding unto something when he left. Because if he’s only holding the vial to cure cancer, he better have pitch perfect memory.
All will be revealed in the part 3 finale! :o) Thanks so much for stopping by to read and comment..
Well, shit. All that effort and he's lost in space. Poor guy. But at least the cure is still headed to Earth or will get there without him, right?
Lovely, Ablaze. And the play on "dawned on him" is brilliant.
I know, after solving one of life's greatest riddles, he does the unthinkable and doesn't secure the hatch... Thanks for the support and kind words, really appreciate it
This is funky. And what a great idea to make a trilogy from three fiftyworders! Might have to steal your idea :)
Thanks a million @sue-stenenson Really appreciate it, it's my first time doing a non-standalone fiftywords..

Oh! The plot thickens! This is such a great follow-up to last week's story. I am so curious to see how it turns out. The question is whether I should consider how this might influence next week's prompt. (Let's "turtle" is out....) Ha ha. Nice work!
Thanks a million @jayna I just saw your new prompt... Really good, I have a concept that I am thinking of going with for the finale, just need to decide if this is def the end I want.. :o)
I'm hooked. I want to know what happens in the finale!
Ah, thanks a lot, that's really cool that you enjoyed it.. ;o)
Ooooh... The drama builds! :O
Nicely done.
