    Short Story Saturdays: Post #4 – The Last Ticket Out

    The world was ending, but no one knew how or when. People panicked, rioted, prayed. Cities crumbled. Hope was scarce.

    Then the lottery was announced: one golden ticket. One seat on an experimental shuttle to a newly discovered Earth-like planet. The catch? Only one could go.

    Adira never expected to win. She wasn’t special. Just a teacher with a love of astronomy and old vinyl records.

    When the officials came to her door, she cried. She screamed. She almost gave the ticket away.

    But in the end, she packed her bags and boarded the shuttle.

    The launch was smooth. The stars were breathtaking.

    She looked back once through the porthole.

    And Earth was already gone.
