Echoes from the Deep / Echi dal Profondo for #spookysaturday episode 10

"How many times do I have to do this?", you wonder. This is a futile mission. There's nobody but us. You've spent years studying, training, waiting to get out there into space. To explore new frontiers, see distant lands, discover if we are really alone, and instead you've ended up in this cramped room pinging out messages every day.
The message is always the same: "This is Terra. Is anyone out there?" And the answer is always the same - silence.
You type it out again. What is this now – the 6th or 7th year? Oh, it doesn't matter. Send.
The screen turns blank. Quelle surprise. Lather, rinse, repeat. Time to go to lunch. You start putting on your jacket when you hear the ping. The computer lights up.
"ENOUGH" fills the screen.
You try to triangulate the message – one of your coworkers has obviously decided to be a smartass today. A welcome break from the monotony. but unfortunately for them, all activity must be reported.
The signal isn't coming from in here or out there. It's coming from underground. Deep underground. Way way too deep underground.

(That's another reason to say no to fracking kids!!
This photo is one of my first astrophotography photos - so be gentle with it please. 😂✨)
