-The Black Hole-
The Black Hole
It was a normal night at the office. Not many people were still in the building. It was almost dead silent, apart from the gentle hum of the photocopiers and computers dotted around the office. I filled my bland plastic cup with the ice cold water from the filter and as I was about to take a sip, I jumped with a fright as the photocopier began to print something. I couldn't help myself as I glanced over to see what had been printed.
It was a white bit of paper with a simple black hole placed in the middle. I lifted up my cup, it slipped from my grasp and fell on the bit of paper. It had fallen through the black hole, and had disappeared. I dipped my hand into the hole. Straight through it went.
A million possibilities rushed through my brain as to what I could do with this discovery. It then dawned on me that I could literally steal anything with this dot. I glanced at my watch. 11:00. I would be the only person in the building, well, at least on my floor once my co-worker, Pablo, left. I could see him in the corner of the room, silently tapping away on his laptop. Hurry up, hurry up, I thought to myself as he started to pack away his laptop into his navy blue bag. He gives me a small smile and nod, then exits out the door, and says, "Make sure to lock up after you leave!" "Will do."
I immediately head up the old stairs and quietly make my way to the head boss' safe.
I kneel down and place the black hole up against the cold metal and pushed my hand though the hole. I felt around and grabbed a large wad of money from inside the safe and brought it out. I gasped, this was a whole more than I had expected. I'm going to be rich! I thought as I grabbed more stacks of money from inside the safe. I then cautiously poked my head in, and I went toppling inside of the safe. Okay. I was basically stuffed now. I had no option but to bang on the walls of the safe and yell as loud as I could. I began to panic. What if I got stuck in here forever? Was anyone going to find me? I checked my watch, 11:14. I then stopped yelling and heard gentle footsteps pacing towards the safe. "hello?" I heard a muffled voice from outside. "Please! Help me!" I begged. I then heard a loud gasp. The office phone was then being dialled. 3 numbers. I was really in trouble now.
