Jimmy screamed in sheer terror, a high pitched sound lost to the monstrous roar of the black hole.
He was being dragged toward the swirling vortex, his body becoming a plaything for cosmic forces he couldn't comprehend.
He felt dangerously close, his heart hammering against his ribs, his stomach twisting into a knot. It truly felt like the end, his final hours. Eric was a rapidly shrinking dot below him, disappearing into the distance.
Eric, watching helplessly from the ground, was filled with a sense of utter devastation. He held on to a steel rod, fighting a losing battle against the pull. He watched as Jimmy was dragged farther and farther away, a tiny figure swallowed by the sky.
A sad look of acceptance settled on both their faces as they stared at each other from afar. Jimmy had given up, no longer fighting against the pull, accepting his horrible fate.
Suddenly, a voice cut through the cosmic roar.
"Keep your head together."
