The Particle Accelerator
By: Sonya Kulkarni
The Large Hadron Collider (a machine that uses electromagnetic fields to propel charged particles to light speed and contain them in well defined beams) is what people like me, who live in Geneva, Switzerland depend on to not blow up, as it was put between the borders of France and Switzerland for research. Now, on February 13, 2050 (a Friday), as I got dressed for work to go and set the controls for our Particle Accelerator (The Large Hadron), I heard a loud rumbling, and the ground cracked open like a pot of crème brûlée! The connection broke, and because of the Large Hadron Collider, the people of Switzerland and France, never lived to see another day.
