Horror Haiku Club Prompt
August 29 - Gamma Ray Burst
When a star dies it implodes, the result is a burst of light that typically releases the same amount of energy the sun will burn through in ten billion years, but in only a few seconds.
Your prompt is GAMMA RAY BURST.
Body collapsing
Your energy pulled inward
Death throes a death ray
Gamma ray bursts are extremely rare. Such a release of energy has never been observed within the Milky Way Galaxy, but some scientists hypothesize that a gamma ray burst may have caused a mass extinction on Earth during the Late Ordovician, about 445 million years ago.
Shot out like a cork
From a bottle of shaken
Supernova brut
Needles stretch from the poles
seeking to pierce the eyeball
of some planet in the far future
