The space station was broken, and the once lively place was now quiet and filled with a lingering dread. All transportation methods no longer worked, the lights flickered and the ship was becoming colder by the day.
Gaz, the only soldier left of his squad, fought every day to stay alive. Food, water, and medical equipment were limited, but there was something else on the station, something far from human.
No one knew what this monster was, all they knew was that it killed its victims one by one with little effort. Screams would echo through the ventilation system at night, another life lost.
Gaz wandered through the halls, his steps quiet so as not to attract unwanted attention. Up ahead, there was an abandoned food quart, one that he hoped he could use for nutrition since his food supply was running low.
A noise suddenly broke through the silence, it was quiet but loud enough for his trained ears to hear. It came from above, something was travelling through the vents. With quick moments, Gaz crouched behind a worn-down bench for minimal coverage.
That’s when he first saw you, the monster of the base. You dropped down from a hatch, your movements were fluid and predatory. Gaz rested a hand on his revolver, ready to shoot if you discovered him, but could he really harm an alien lifeform like you?
