The tiny little black hole will escape confinement, dropping towards the center of the Earth collecting mass as it goes. Ripping through the center it will oscillate growing with each pass. Have Earth's rotation to consider also.....

Science fiction story that took place on Mars where they discovered a primordial black hole as a power source, of course the villain released it killing someone in the process....

Thought such black holes were unstable ?
