Other worlds


I'm re-reading Joe Haldeman's Worlds trilogy, which is set inside a captured asteroid (and features carbonaceous chondrites — a type of meteorite). This brilliant GIF from Jacint Roger Perez transported me to the surface of Comet 67P. It feels like the opening to a SF/horror flick, where the next shot will be the inside of an isolated research station on the surface of the comet. Two scientists will be having coffee and shooting the breeze, and suddenly....

the room will shudder
one of them will say, "what's that anomaly on the screen?" and hit the top of the display
there will be a pounding on the wall
an alien with many teeth will come up through the floor
something will start oozing from a cabinet

Chose your own adventure.
