Greetings, Nordic Noir! This is purty durn good! I don't read as much sci/fi as I used to, but I like the idea of this asteroid hitting earth and the escape wormhole, as well as the reasoning you gave for not letting the public know of this impending disaster. But what stood out and made this shine was your confession to your embarrassment, sadness, and ultimate 'cowardly existence' for going through the wormhole alone just to save yourself, instead of staying behind and 'going down with the ship', so to speak. Kind of reminds me of those cowardly men on the Titanic who jumped in the lifeboats while brave womenfolk stayed behind with their husbands. I think I even remember a documentary where one wife said, "No, my husband. We've spent our whole lives together, and we shall die together." Or some such thing, anyway, but you get my drift. Kee ponw ritin gon, my friend! Great use of the prompt phrase, and the spelling and grammar were flawless (thank you!).
