Review: 2019.151 (A Word for Authors)
Pro: It’s a fairly decent send up of the shallowness of online religion.
The “asteroid” moving at 100,000 miles/hour is feasible, provided it fell from the Oort cloud and hit the Earth almost head-on, and technically it was a meteoroid, not an asteroid.
Con: There’s no plot to the story.
There’s no way a fragment of the meteoroid could hang around for a week after the impact.
