Far away in a galaxy called pentrum lived the loneliest man in his galaxy, maybe even in space. His name was Mr. Bobiel. He had no family, not even a long-lost cousin. He used to have an uncle, but he was lost in space on a mission.
Mr. Bobiel worked at a black hole lighthouse. He had worked there for 245 years without leaving, and no one ever visited him. But his dream was to find a beautiful planet and start a family. One day, all he could think about was leaving, so he made a plan. Since he couldn't quit, he had to get himself fired. His plan was to not warn a spaceship about the black hole and let it get sucked in. So that’s exactly what he did. When his boss found out, he immediately fired him.
Mr. Bobiel then left to explore space. He rented a ship for 2 slips, which was his planet's currency, and traveled to a planet called M2. He ended up living there for 70 years by himself until he found a beautiful lady. They started a family with two kids: Jash, a 17-year-old girl, and Penser, a 10-year-old boy.
One day, after not visiting the black hole for 92 years, he thought he should take his family to see it and meet the new caretaker of the lighthouse. So, they rented a ship, since they couldn’t afford to buy one. They both had jobs on a farm. The trip took 7 hours. When they arrived, the lighthouse was off, so they assumed the caretaker was away or something. They decided to go inside, but it looked abandoned. They started walking back to the ship, but on the way, they felt they were being pulled in.
By the time they noticed, it was too late. The black hole was out of control, and they were sucked in. As they floated into the void, all Mr. Bobiel could do was watch his family floating away. It was all his fault for bringing them there. Their faces started to pale and boil. They tried to scream in pain, but the black hole silenced all the noise until they disappeared.
Mr. Bobiel thought, "I guess sometimes the loneliest job is the most important."
