Ten Cent Shower - Epilogue
In June 2005, a group of physicists from Boston University, led by Dr. Emma Rowe-Greer, made their first visit to the Swallow Hollow Campground. Armed with photocopies of a charcoal-smudged map and several powerful laptop computers as well as GPS technology, they were able to precisely pinpoint the location and direction of the moving campground entrance.
A team clad in biohazard suits was able to penetrate the fog and return with their observations of a sleepy community that seemed to be stuck within the vortex and frozen in time.
It was theorized that the back end of a powerful black hole halfway across the known Universe had somehow made an atom-sized hole in the bottom of the campground ravine. A stream of white “loose matter” had circled the camp for decades as it twirled down to the bottom of the vortex.
The singularity was subsequently contained and all residents of the campground were released, with the exception of anyone trapped pre-1954. Unfortunately, all non-corporeal beings disintegrated when the intense gravitational field collapsed.
