Tomorrow I'm
heading to my trading card game thing. Also, overall seizures have
been down the past couple of days so that's been pretty nice. Haven't
been flung into anything by one either in awhile. Hope it stays good
because it'd suck if I went to the card game thing and knocked over a
table by accident or something. Anyway onto the flash fiction!
The Depressing Television Show In Space
The astronauts
floated about in the space station. Rebecca watched the television.
You'd think with all the science they should be doing that they
should be doing that they wouldn't have time to do such a thing, but
in 2050 astronauts in space stations were mostly the most skilled
baby sitters in the universe. The machines did all the work and their
intense doctorate skills were called upon when something went wrong
or when the loads and loads of data needed to be poured through and
the end of the week. Fortunately nothing was currently on fire so
Rebecca and the rest of the space station crew could just pass the
time.
The most
depressing show came one while Rebecca channel surfed. The other
astronauts glared at her as if it was her fault for the channel
appearing. She dropped the remote in shock and it floated through the
station. This would be much more trouble than getting a remote fallen
in a living room. The astronauts near the TV were strapped into
devices that allowed them to exercise in space to avoid muscle
deterioration.
Rebecca acted
fast to unbuckle from the machine and launch herself off of it to get
the remote as the tortuous program played. As she reached he panic
made her miss slightly and it bounced off the side of her arm. It
spun through the station.
Fortunately
Steve witnessed the whole thing. Despite the fact the show the
television depressed and hurt him as much as everyone else he reacted
fast enough to somersault and spin-kick the remote to Rebecca who
grabbed it like a footballer diving for a touchdown. She changed the
channel to the news.
The depressed
program was a cooking show and reminded them of the terrible packaged
food blocks they had to eat on the space station.
