All Black and White Short story, by Ada Ciontu The sound of catastrophe was rapidly approaching. They all reached their heads in despair, unaware of what might happen. A tiny ball of fire was getting larger and larger as each moment passed by. It was heading in the direction of their spacecraft, shimmering brighter and brighter in the strong glass of their astronaut shells. Within seconds it hit them. Hard. Everything was destroyed. Bits and pieces were falling uncaringly all over them like an unstoppable avalanche and their fragile bodies were spinning hurriedly in the infinite darkness. Pam saw nothing but unknown shapes moving about her eyes. She had been detached from the spacecraft and was on her own. Her body was like paralyzed in the endless blackness, floating farther and farther away from planet Earth. She had nowhere to go and no one to be saved by. The stringent sound of the Oxygen tank wailed in her numb ears: “10%”. In a hundredth of a second, Pam was tossed into an invisible hole, sucked in like a vacuum. Her body was powerless in the face of the colossal force that had captured her. Her miniscule hands gripped the stone-cold walls of the pit black whirlwind, grasping at the chance to live. As the Oxygen percentage was swiftly lowering, her pulse was quickening. The same robotic sound shrieked: “1%”. The tremendous pressure was getting bigger as the opaque walls were towering above her, trapping her inside the unescapable black hole. Once the tank run out of Oxygen, her head started whirling without a stop and her muscles were getting strengthless. The Carbon Dioxide she was inhaling was making her feel light-headed, while her energy and consciousness were briskly degrading. Pam felt nothing, saw nothing, heard nothing. She was stupefied. As if from a deep sleep, she opened her eyes, only to see something she never would have expected. Humanlike creatures were moving around her, living a normal life, like people on Earth do. Except for the fact that the only colors existing were black and white, as in antique movies. She had a look at her own body. She was no exception. Pam was petrified with happiness. She had just discovered possible human life outside Earth, the most sought-after question of humanity.
