“Wake up! If we’re not on that transport and out of Earth’s atmosphere before that hits, we won’t survive the shockwave.”
“Huh?” Confused, I rub my eyes, squinting in the dim light. Following the direction of his finger, my eyes widen at the large object partially eclipsing the sun.
Leaping to my feet, I stumble as the ground shakes from the impact of a smaller meteor. I’ve been dreaming this. How am I here, seventy years in my future? This is no dream.
One thing is certain. If I want to survive, I need to be on that transport…now!

I think that my protagonist, and perhaps a few other people, have been brought to the future to witness what is going on. The dreams had been sent to help their minds understand what is happening when they arrive in the future. I think that these people will then be returned to the past, once they have a handle on things, so they have plenty of time to prevent the disaster from… Read more »
Oh! Another sci-fi. I love sci-fi stories. Earnestly hoping to write one soon. Nice story, Carrie.

If you enjoy sci fi that has plenty of humour in it you could try the ‘Dakota Adams’ series by Galen Surlak-Ramsey. The first book is call ‘Apocalypse, How’. It’s a great fun series which keeps getting better with every new book.
This may be something that everyone else already knows, but what does ELE stand for? A very intriguing story, Carrie!
Thanks for commenting. It’s an acronym for Extinction Level Event, Julie ?

Thanks Marianna. This is another one that may get added to my ‘to be written’ pile. I’d better live until I’m at least 105. I have far too many stories to tell! There’s a lot of background information to this story buzzing around inside my head, as I described to Susan.

Run, Carrie, run! Don’t miss that transport. Well done, you’ve captured the sleepy waking and then realisation, perfectly 🙂

So intriguing Sci-fi stories, Carie. But because I read your response to Susan, that is where I was enlightened. Hopefully, all the people who abuse mother earth will be brought to that dream by your protagonist to make them aware of the possible tragic consequences of the world.
Thank you Lotchie. There is just so much in these 100 word stories that is, by necessity left unsaid. I’m glad my comments to Susan helped to clarify. I do feel rather compelled to add this one to my ‘to be written’ pile too! I knew I should have nipped into Sainsbury’s for some more notebooks earlier ?
