Chapter 1
It was cold inside the meat locker. It didn't matter to Allen though. Anything was better than the monster standing outside of the metal door of the meat locker. This monster slaughtered his entire crew. He had read the space dangers manual, he had known of previous encounters with the black menace. He and seven other crewmen were assigned to transport ore from the mining colony on the planet Fer'ror. It said in the book he read that the things have to come out of someone's chest. Well that didn't happen to anyone on board. So the thing must have come in on one of the truckloads of ore. He knew that the ship was 5 years out from earth. He needed to send a distress signal from the cockpit so that space marines on earth could destroy the thing. There was a problem he wouldn't survive for 5 years inside this meat locker; he needed to get to a hyper sleep chamber. The problem was he didn't have a plan, the thing was quicker than him, he couldn't outrun it. Also it was just standing there motionless, he could see its shadow under the door. He decided to wait until it moved.
3 days later
Allen was going insane; he hadn't eaten for 4 days. The monster hadn't moved in 3 whole days.
"Damn you!" he yelled at the thing. "What are you waiting for!? Come in here and get me!".
He waited until he couldn't even think straight. He lost track of how many hours had passed since he yelled at the creature. He had to do something if he waited any longer he would pass out. Franticly looking for some kind of weapon. He found a meat cleaver in one of the boxes, he though he could at least hurt the thing before he died. Carefully he moved to the door, he slipped the lock off and looked at the shadow projecting under the door. It still didn't move. He counted to 3 in his head and swung the door open.
"Oh my God!" Allen yelled.
It wasn't the creature that stood there waiting for him; it was the dead corpse of his friend Walker. His body was propped against a knocked over chair right in front of the door. That was the shadow that was under the door. Walkers head was missing and blood was spattered all over the walls of the crew's last stand, he of course had run into the locker. Fear and disgust shot all throughout his body. He almost threw up all over the floor. Fear took over his mind, he didn't care about the distress message or hyper sleep. The primal instinct took over, he turned an ran back into the meat locker. 'That thing set him up like that so I would see it! But is it really that smart?'. At least he was safe, that was his only comforting feeling. Then he heard a noise and it all hit him at once. Yes this thing was smart, yes it had set up Walkers corpse. While he was staring in shock the thing must have climbed in the locker from the roof. Slowly he turned to face his fear. He saw it, and froze; he was paralyzed from fear. The thing was 6 or 7 feet tall. Its long slender shiny black head looked right at him. It seemed like they stared at each other for hours. The thing had no recognizable eyes, it was a sleek black face that was designed to kill. He knew that he was going to die, but he wanted to take a chunk of the think with him. He raised his cleaver into the air "Die you bi-." was all he could manage to say. The thing was so fast it wasn't fair. It didn't let him have a chance. Its mouth had opened and its long tongue penetrated through his face and into his brain. The last thing he saw was the black face, and the long sharp teeth.
