Designed to be 100%, it would never have spills, process in site everything, and produce zero pollution, it started operations in 2035. Such a happy day. It would be the last of its kind, though. One year later, the main drill broke an ancient crashed alien starship hull, and made its still active reactor blow up. Radiation killed most life in the planet. Such a sad day…<br><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/WritingPrompt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WritingPrompt</span></a></p>

Their fans screamed like there was the end of the world. Their guitars were turned up to eleven to the factor of xxx. Booze flowed like the Niagara Falls everywhere. People would talk about last night gig for decades. Hopefully. The Heaven's Demons last concert was epic, but they had to go back home. It was time. The Boss called, and they had work to do. This was just a side gig for them. They had to get ready to fight against Hell's army soon…

—My back hurts
—The eSpine again?
—Maybe. But there isn't any error codes…wait…no. It's working fine.
—Why did you get that thing? I doesn't even give you better mobility.
—Everyone in school got one. I wasn't going to be left out.
—It looks horrible! You look like a borg-queen wannabe.
—You're no fun. I can be online 24/7 with this.
—You were online 24/7 before that thing.
—You're just lazy. Is it much effort to type your posts?
—Whatever. Give me more pills.

"That Martian woman had no business to do it," said Mrs. Simpson, "no business at all. She promised us fully furnished rooms with an unobstructed view of the milky way, but instead of which here are those shabby rooms, looking into the Earth's northern hemisphere, and fully cloud-covered, at that! Oh Lucy!" She snapped a photo of the rundown lodging and uploaded it to Insta, adding a thumbs down.
