The console was bright against the darkness of the void. I was settled back in my seat, biting my lip and flipping through the images in my visor view. There were hundreds of pictures, and each one made my eyes water more. I had been at the edge of the Event Horizon for 16 years now. I had destroyed no less than 600 manned vessels. Every time I met up with an enemy I would hail them on comms and request their business. Each time they answered incorrectly, I would fire a single shot that collapsed their wormhole shields.

"Comm0102-3 to approaching vessel," I said smoothly as the ping of the radar caught the first signs of the vessel on the radar screen. "Comm0102-3 to approaching vessel."

My finger was already on the button, pulling open the clip-cover. It snapped open revealed a red-lit button marked with a green 'X'.

I felt a quick shuddering. My vessel spun and I didn't even realize what was happening. I watched in awe as the ship continued through and sped up to an infinite speed. I saw streaking stars and spinning lights that twisted into one another. I watched flashing and explosions that zipped by in mere instants. I knew what was happening now.

I leveled the ship and stopped the spin against the antigrav energy channels. I slowly pushed the vessel back beyond the Event Horizon. I looked out and saw black all around me. I felt the bone-deep chill of fear slide over me. I saw a single speck of light in the distance, glowing morbid against the blackest of scenes. Terror crept into me like I had never felt before.

Now continue this story. I can't wait to read a bunch of great stories.
