This silly little piece of flash fiction was inspired by a meme I found on Instagram about the lab-grown black hole created to test one of Stephen Hawking’s theories. I have heard anything else about that black hole in a while. I wonder how the scientists are doing …

Lab-grown Black Hole Kills Three!
Chaos in the scientific community yesterday when a small lab in [REDACTED] created the latest in a series of black holes. Ever since the creation of the first black hole back in 2022, more and more scientists from around the world have been contributing to the project.
What has been recorded as the 44th lab-grown black hole was a “catastrophic success” according to some. The reason? It behaved exactly as a black hole should. Unfortunately for the team at [REDACTED], this led to immediate spaghettification.
Although scientists at the neighbouring research facility are still unsure of what exactly took place, they estimate that only an equipment malfunction would have allowed the force of the black hole to escape its containment field. Both researchers and authorities expect to have more answers within the month. Their first priority will recovering any salvageable research and materials from the now destroyed lab, as well as sifting through any remaining “organic sludge” to hopefully provide families of the deceased with enough to burry.
