My, it was going to be such a wet and nice late evening. Cosy occasion to wash off the stardust and celebrate the success. They both lived. Much more luck than many poor guys, the crewmembers who had landed on the wrong planet as the expedition team. The record of casualities was extensive and quite horrid.
It really pays off to be a spacecraft pilot and an information database engeenier. So that noone wants you outside the ship. Well, it still could end up much worse, then we ought be thankfull to our lucky star.
And all ended up, it did, when things under the shower finally got interesting.
Wet with blood and brain traces she cried out with horror, repulsion and disbielief. Unable to think she recoiled and stepped back on the slippery bathroom tiles. The cry was loud, more anger than fear. She had to but realise her lover was helplessly dead now. The recognition like paralizing lightning sensation through the spine.
She looked down at the bloodied corpse and then up at the creature behind it. Breathless, she notices someone shrieks in horror, not exactly knowing it was coming through her throath. Her white, parabolic-arranged teeth glimmered.
The creature gave a gurgling hiss and stepped forward, intrigued. The first time a human speaks comprehensevly. Too bad the shriek of the girl was a battlecry of Aliens. So the beast, it took the challenge.
