Chapter 31
Gröna lund
Freja and Alfred are walking in the big amusement park and they have no desire to ride any attractions but instead enjoy the nice weather and eat ice cream and Churros. They pass crowds of people queuing for several attractions and it becomes crowded going forward, but Alfred sees that there is a larger patch of grass with trees and several rock outcrops a little further away and he leads Freja there. When they get there, they sit on a large rock outcrop and it is several meters above the ground and they dangle freely with their feet. Alfred feels that he has to relieve himself and goes to a tree to pee while Freja remains at the rock outcrop.
Alfred opens his fly and relieves himself and he looks around but no one seems to see what he is doing. Alfred is just about to walk away from the tree when he sees a movement in the branch above him and he looks straight up. The chestburster let go of the branch and falls into Alfred's open mouth, severing Alfred's inner windpipe so he can't get air or make a sound. The chestburster slides down Alfred's throat as it eats away at the soft parts and it goes deeper and deeper, soon reaching the lungs and chest. Everything is eaten with the help of the Chestburster's sharp steel teeth but Alfred feels no pain because he has already lost consciousness. The chestburster continues to slide around inside Alfred's body, eating up just about any soft material there is. When Alfred's body is emptied of food the Chestburster changes direction and it moves up through the body and finally falls out of the now open bloody mouth and lands on the ground with a wet plop sound.
Freja has started to wonder why Alfred hasn't come back and she turns to look for him and she soon sees him lying under the tree and she rushes over there. Freja tries to get in touch with Alfred but he doesn't react and finally she crouches in front of his body and starts to pull him and then she notices how easy he is. Freya touches Alfred's stomach and it is pushed in like a balloon that has lost its gas and Freja becomes hysterical and starts screaming. At the same time, the Chestburster begins to slide up her arm and it tears through the soft skin and fills its jaws with the flesh beneath the skin. Freja tries to rip the Chestburster away but it is glued to her arm as it eats all the flesh it can reach.
The chestburster slides along the side of the body and lands on the stomach and it sinks its sharp steel teeth deep into Freja's stomach and she screams in pain but passes out due to the great pain. When most of the meat in the stomach is eaten, the Chestburster inserts its body through the hole in the stomach and it begins to slide around inside the body eating as much meat as it can find. The Chestburster suddenly sheds its skin while eating and it is now fully grown but it is still vulnerable. The Chestburster empties Freja's body of flesh and when the body is completely empty of nourishment, the Chestburster slides out through the open stomach and it then slides up the trunk of a very large tree that is nearby.
When the Chestburster is well above the ground, it suddenly stops and presses its body against the surface of the tree and opens its jaw. A thick whitish mass squirts out from the Chestburster's jaw and from a smaller body opening at the tail, a yellowish thick mass squirts out. The Chestburster violently shakes its snake-like body and the white and yellowish pulp mix and it melts the wood of the tree and after a few seconds a thick yellow-brown mass pours out over the Chestburster's body while it still spurts the white and yellowish pulp non-stop. The pulp consists of melted material from the tree. More and more yellow-brown mass wells up as the Chestburster shakes and soon it is no longer visible but is hidden by the yellow-brown mass. The yellow-brown mass grows in circumference and when it has become the size of a larger dog, it stops growing.
The mass hardens and changes color and becomes more dark brown and even though it is large, it is difficult to see as it hangs on the tree. A smaller opening is formed at the bottom of the hard mass. The chestburster has formed a cocoon and it is starting to grow inside it. The chestburster begins to change into an adult Alien and the cocoon is very elastic and widens and lengthens as the Alien monster grows, but it is not yet fully grown. It bubbles and hisses from inside the cocoon and it regularly drips sticky slime from the opening at the bottom.
Märta and Elsa have gone to several attractions but now they are very hungry and they go to a very large wooden building where they can sit indoors and eat their picnic that they have with them. Elsa carries the big basket with all the food. Elsa hates wasps and doesn't want to sit and eat at the tables that are outside the building and they open the door to the building and go inside. Märta immediately finds a free table in the building and they can look out through a large panoramic window. Elsa begins to pick up the food that they have brought and she places the food so that it stands neatly on the table. Märta's mobile phone rings and she sees that it is a call that she wants to keep private, so she excuses herself and leaves the building and she stands at one corner of the building and answers the phone. Elsa goes to get napkins from a holder near the toilet and goes back to the table they have chosen. Elsa reaches the table and trips over something and falls forward, landing hard on the floor.
Something slithers towards Elsa and she thinks it looks like a long snake and it suddenly slides in through her open mouth. Elsa grabs the Chestburster and tries to pull it out, but the Chestburster bites into her tongue and it hurts terribly. The chestburster continues to enter through Elsa's mouth in one continuous motion and it reaches the throat and slides down it. Elsa can't breathe because the Chestburster is in the way and her brain is starting to be affected by the lack of oxygen. The chestburster eats the soft flesh of Elsa's throat as it almost flows through it and it soon reaches her lungs and chest. When the lungs and chest are eaten, the Chestburster begins to eat the stomach and its contents. The Chestburster's body suddenly begins to grow and its old skin is shed from it. This Chestburster has already received some nourishment from forgotten food lying on the floor and it continues to eat all the soft flesh in Elsa's body. When there is no nourishment left, the Chestburster slides towards Elsa's open mouth, but it does not slide out of it, but stops just behind the teeth.
Märta's call takes a long time and she hopes that Elsa doesn't get angry because it takes a long time. When Märta has finished talking, she enters the building and walks over to the table they chose. The food is on the table but Elsa is on the floor. Märta thinks that Elsa wants to joke with her, so at first she doesn't care that Elsa is lying on the floor, but then she frowns and squats in front of Elsa and she notices that she's not breathing. Märta panics and starts doing artificial respiration in Elsa's mouth and she blows in air and waits for the chest to rise but it doesn't move so she blows harder. Suddenly, Märta feels something enter through her mouth and she pulls her face away from Elsa's mouth, but what has entered Märta's mouth remains like a long snake and it bites into Märta's cheek. Märta howls in pain but also anger that the unwelcome intruder is doing this.
The chestburster slides quickly through Märta's mouth and runs like a long snake through the throat and it chooses to move down to the stomach directly because it has already learned that there is most nutrition there. Märta feels when the Chestburster eats at her stomach and she refuses to believe that this is happening in reality but it is. The chestburster eats all the meat in Märta's thick stomach, but it leaves a lot of meat behind. The chestburster slides up through Märta's throat and out through her mouth and up a large wooden wall that is next to the table. When the Chestburster is at the top of the wooden wall, it stops and opens its jaw wide open.
A thick white mass begins to spurt from the Chestburster's wide open jaw while a yellowish thick mass spurts from a small body opening in the Chestburster's tail. The chestburster makes strong vibrating movements and the two masses mix with each other and melt the wood that is on the wooden wall. The wood and the two masses mix and a light brown mass begins to pour over the Chestburster's body. The thick white pulp and yellowish pulp continue to shoot out from the Chestburster's body openings and some metal spikes sitting on the wall are melted down and mixed with even more molten wood. The light brown mass continues to well up over the Chestburster's body and is no longer visible. The light brown mass widens and grows longer and is soon the size of a large dog. The wooden wall surrounding the light brown mass has completely melted down and the large mass is visible through the wall, but very few people look up that high.
The light brown mass solidifies and turns dark brown instead. The Chestburster is completely encased in a cocoon and it has begun to grow into an adult Alien. The cocoon is very elastic and it gets wider and longer as the Alien monster grows inside it. A small opening forms at the bottom of the cocoon and wheezing and gurgling sounds are heard from the cocoon as the Alien monster continues to grow. It is starting to drip sticky slime from the opening at the bottom but the Alien monster has not finished growing yet.
At the same time as the Chestburster that has eaten Elsa and Martha slides up the wooden wall and forms a cocoon, another Chestburster slides into the building through the back entrance. This Chestburster has already taken quite a lot of nutrition from an open container but it smells death from Elsa and Märta and it slips in through Elsa's mouth and looks for food in her body and it finds some meat that the first Chestburster missed and it eats it up. The chestburster slips out of Elsa's mouth and sheds its skin and grows to normal size.
The Chestburster slides in through Märta's mouth and flows down her throat, eating the meat that the previous Chestburster didn't eat, draining her fat body of nutrients. When there is no longer any flesh left in Märta's body, the Chestburster bites a large hole in the thick stomach and slides out from there instead of the mouth. The chestburster slides over Märta's dead body and onto the floor and then slides up the long wooden wall without a pause and soon it is as high as the first cocoon.
A thick white mass spurts hard from the Chestburster's jaw while another yellowish mass spurts hard under the tail and the Chestburster begins to vibrate violently with the whole body and the two masses mix with each other and the mixed mass begins to corrode and melt the wood in the wall and when the Chestburster vibrates with the whole body, the pulp mixes with the melted wood and the surface layer of the pulp changes and becomes light brown. The light brown thick mass billows over the Chestburster's body. The thick white pulp as well as the yellowish pulp continue to shoot out from the Chestburster's two body openings and the wood continues to melt as the two masses mix and the new light brown thick pulp continuously pours up over the Chestburster's body and the little beast is no longer visible. The thick wood on the wall is soon completely dissolved and the light brown thick mass begins to protrude behind the wall and is visible at the back of the building. The light brown mass becomes wide and long and when it is the size of a large dog, it stops spreading.
The light brown mass dries quickly to dark brown and it completely envelops the Chestburster's body. The chestburster begins to grow into an adult Alien inside the cocoon and a small opening forms at the bottom of the cocoon and when the Alien monster is fully grown it will push out through the opening. There are bubbling and gurgling and hissing sounds from inside the large cocoon as the Alien monster grows and it grows really fast. The cocoon widens on the sides and lengthwise as the monster inside takes up more space. It starts dripping sticky slime from the opening at the bottom and it lands on the floor.
As the Chestburster that ate the rest of Märta's body slides up the wooden wall and begins to form a cocoon, another Chestburster slides in through the open back door, also looking for food. The Chestburster slides forward towards the two bodies and it begins to eat their empty skins and skeletons and everything disappears into the Chestburster's jaws. The chestburster also eats the skulls with brains and all and there is a lot of nutrition in the two human brains. The chestburster's skin is stretched to the max and it happens almost like an explosion as it sheds its skin and grows to normal size. The chestburster slides up the legs of the table and eats all the food that Elsa brought out on the table and the large wooden basket falls to the floor with a small thud. When the table is completely empty of food, the Chestburster slides down the legs of the table again and it starts to move towards the open back door and the Chestburster's strong tail grabs hold of the wooden basket and it follows out when the Chestburster comes out the back door.
The chestburster slides up a long wooden wall that is next to the back entrance and it slides higher and higher, stopping only when it is just below the wide roof. The chestburster opens its jaw wide open. A thick white mass begins to spew from the Chestburster's wide open jaw and from a smaller body opening at its tail, a yellowish thick mass spews out. The chestburster vibrates with its body and the two masses mix together and begin to corrode and melt down the wood on the wall. The thick mass turns light brown and begins to well up over the Chestburster's body as it continues to spray a white mass from the jaw and a yellowish one at the small body opening at the tail. The light brown mass continues to well up over the Chestburster's body and it is drowned in it as the mass grows in girth and length. Soon the light brown mass is almost as big as a large dog and it stops growing.
The light brown mass hardens and turns dark brown and the Chestburster begins to grow into an adult Alien inside its cocoon. Legs and arms form and the head becomes oblong like a banana and five outgrowths grow from its back. The growing Alien monster moves around in its cocoon but it is completely protected while it continues to grow. An opening is formed at the bottom of the cocoon and the adult Alien monster will squeeze through the opening when it has finished growing. It sizzles and bubbles from inside the cocoon while the Alien monster grows. It drips sticky slime from the opening at the bottom and it drains into a floor drain that is nearby.
William and Liam walk around Gröna lund and they have gone to several attractions and now they want to try their luck in the arcade. Many of the visitors to the park wave as William and Liam walk past them. William and Liam form the pop group STHLM Boys and they recently had a big radio hit on the charts and the song is called "If you only knew what you wanted" and it was number one for three weeks but now it has ended up in fifth place while the group Kornett has the top three positions. Both William and Liam hate the group Kornett and there are reasons for that.
Neither Liam nor William like rap music and they think it's wrong for a group that mostly just samples music from others to become popular. STHLM Boys never sample from other artists, they make their own songs and riffs. But the main reason why they hate Kornett is due to an incident at a gig in Malmö.
STHLM Boys and Kornett have been on a big tour together and in Gothenburg and Stockholm both groups have received a lot of applause, but that was not the case in Malmö. STHLM Boys played first and the area in front of the stage was filled with people but no one seemed to like the music and clapped along with the music and it made both Liam and William sad but the biggest disappointment came when Kornett stepped on stage after STHLM Boys' concert. The cheers rose to deafening levels as the group Kornett took to the stage but before they started to play the singer grabbed the microphone and started talking.
- Hello there fans! Now we're going to offer real music. Those disgusting Stockholmers think they are something because some girls get something dreamy in their eyes and it's pathetic. Does anyone agree with me?
- Yeah!
- Did anyone even like STHLM Boy's concert?
- Nope!
- Neither do we. We stood behind the scene and suffered with you. It's been a nightmare touring with this group and this is the last gig we're doing with them.
- You are the best.
- Of course we are. I bet I can sing their so-called hit a hundred times better than them. Do you want to hear?
- Yeah.
- Okay then. "I'm standing on the bridge bro, waiting for you. But you don't have time and diss me. I swear to my mother I love you but you're so fake. Your promises give me nothing, Yo. oh. If you only knew whatever you wanted I'd have you here, have you here bro"
Kornett changed a few things in the lyrics and rapped instead of singing like Liam usually does and the cheers grew to another deafening roar and William left the arena slamming the door shut while Liam stood listening with tears in his eyes and it was no tears of joy. The STHLM Boys didn't wait for Kornett to drive their tour bus first but they left Malmö while the concert was still going on and it was extremely quiet on the bus on the way to Stockholm.
But now William and Liam are at Gröna lund to have fun and they go into the big arcade. Both Liam and William are surprised to see that the arcade is completely empty of people. They can choose which games they want and they walk up to an elderly one-armed bandit. Liam gets nostalgic when he sees the big lever on the side of the machine. Nowadays, there is a touch button on the modern machines, but on this one, they have to pull a lever to be able to compete. William puts coins in the coin compartment and Liam gets ready to pull the lever. Liam pulls the lever but there is no win and he pulls it again and again there is no win. Liam rubs his hands and draws one last time and this time it's three exactly the same figures and it's a win. The coins tumble into the coin compartment and William and Liam smile at each other. It's not alot of money, but they're still happy to win. Liam and William collect the money together and they split equally.
William goes to a space game while Liam goes to a hockey game and they put in the coins needed. The playing surface of the space game that William comes to is down and he is going to launch small balls at the UFOS and there is something that looks like a long snake over most of the glass that protects the game but William thinks it belongs to the game so he doesn't care about it. William starts the game and he is fully concentrated on the game but there is something that makes him stop in a motion. The snake that was above the game has moved and he doesn't know where it has gone. William looks at the floor below the game but it is not there and not at the sides of the game either. William turns and looks back but the snake is not there either.
William shakes his head and continues to play but suddenly he feels sharp teeth biting his hands and he lets go of the game controller and sees the long snake bite his hand. William shakes his hand to dislodge the snake but it slides further up and reaches his arm very quickly. William tries to pull the snake free from his arm but it is far too strong and it approaches his face instead. It cracks and the snake bites William's windpipe and he makes a low sound just before it happens. The snake moves down to William's stomach and bites a large hole in his stomach and disappears into it. William suddenly feels weak in his body and he clumsily sits down on the floor. The chestburster moves through William's body, eating as much flesh as it can find. William dies from lack of blood and oxygen but the Chestburster continues to feed on his flesh and when William's body runs out of nutrients the Chestburster slips out of William's stomach and it senses the presence of another person in the arcade and moves towards Liam.
The Chestburster's body begins to grow rapidly and there is a loud bang as the Chestburster's old skin comes off. Liam hears the bang and looks up from his game but he can't see anything unusual in the arcade but at the same time he senses that something is wrong and he calls out to William.
- William, are you all right? I thought I heard some strange noise just now. Did you hear that too?
Liam doesn't get an answer because William is dead and Liam's sense that something is wrong grows when he doesn't get an answer and he decides to see where William is and he starts to move forward. Liam passes the one-armed bandit where he and William won money. Liam continues forward and suddenly sees William sitting on the floor. Liam can't see any blood and he thinks William is teasing him.
- Haha. Good joke, William. You almost worried me.
Liam steps on something on the floor and he bends down and picks up the Chestburster's shedded skin and he studies it. Liam thinks he recognizes the type of skin but he can't quite remember where he's seen it before. Liam drops the Chestburster's shedded skin on the floor and walks over to William and he sees that William is completely still and Liam gets worried again.
- Okay, buddy. You can stop joking now. This isn't funny anymore.
Liam stands still looking at William's dead body as the Chestburster makes a giant leap from a game that is just behind Liam and it lands on his back and it sinks its razor sharp steel teeth into Liam's back. Liam screams as the Chestburster bites his back and he doesn't know what it is that has landed on his back. The chestburster rips soft flesh from Liam's back and swallows it, sliding around to Liam's front and now Liam can see the little beast and he recognizes it instantly.
What the hell is a Chestburster doing here? They only exist in the Alien movies.
The chestburster sinks its sharp steel teeth deep into Liam's stomach and it pulls out parts of the stomach's contents and Liam looks at his intestines.
So this is what my intestines look like?
The chestburster once again sinks its sharp steel teeth into Liam's stomach and this time it doesn't pull out what it finds but swallows the contents straight away. Liam starts to feel dizzy and leans against a nearby game. Blood splatters from Liam's stomach and his face grows grayer and grayer as the life drains from him. The chestburster revels in the soft flesh and slides in through the large hole in the stomach and moves inside Liam's body eating anything nutritious it can find. Liam's body is soon an empty skeleton and the Chestburster slides out of the open stomach and down Liam's pant leg until it is on the floor.
The chestburster slides further into the room and finds a fairly long wooden wall which it slides up. There are two games near the wall but these particular games are not popular and there is a lot of dust on the floor behind the games. The chestburster continues to slide up the wall and stops when it is at the top. The chestburster instinctively opens its jaw wide open.
White thick mass begins to spurt from the Chestburster's open jaw under high pressure while a yellowish mass spurts out of a smaller body opening near the Chestburster's tail and the two masses are so thick that they float onto the wall. The chestburster begins to vibrate with its entire body and the two masses mix and begin to corrode and melt the hard wood that is on the wall. When the two masses are mixed, the new mass takes on a light brown color and the light brown mass begins to well up over the Chestburster's body. White and yellowish mass continues to spray from the Chestburster and the two masses mix again and turn light brown. The light brown mass continues to well up over the Chestburster's body in a continuous flow and it is soon drenched in the thick mass. The light brown mass continues to grow and get bigger in both width and length and the wood on the wall is now completely gone but the mass is so thick that it hangs on the wall. When the mass has grown to the size of a large dog, it finally stops growing.
The light brown mass changes and becomes solid and also changes color to dark brown. The mass has formed a large cocoon and the Chestburster grows into an adult Alien inside the cocoon and it is protected from outside influences. The alien monster grows rapidly and the cocoon expands further because it is elastic. It hisses and bubbles from inside the cocoon and a smaller opening forms at the bottom of the large cocoon. It drips sticky slime from the opening at the bottom at regular intervals. The cocoon goes down a bit on the wall because it starts to get heavy and soon it hangs so that people who come into the arcade and look towards the wall can see it without a problem. But the arcade is empty so far.
The cocoon hanging on the tree near Freja and Alfred's bodies begins to swell to double its size and the sound heard from the cocoon changes. The sounds heard from the cocoon sound like someone cooking oatmeal on too high a heat. Some really tough and greyish slime starts to drip from the opening at the bottom of the cocoon and the slime is so heavy that it splashes when it reaches the ground. The speed of the slime is increased and soon an almost constant splashing is heard under the tree.
The cocoon jerks violently and the opening at the bottom slowly widens and it looks like a vagina. The cocoon swells further and becomes significantly wider than the tree. The opening at the bottom of the cocoon widens and something begins to squeeze out of the narrow opening. Whatever is in the cocoon has just begun to hatch. What is being pushed out looks oval but it is still hard to tell exactly what it is. The oval retracts but soon begins to press against the opening again and the opening widens further while loud sticky sounds are heard from the cocoon. Now more of the oval comes out and you can see that it is an elongated head and that it is bent like a banana. The oblong head is grey-black and is covered with greyish thick slime and the thick slime drips from the head and lands on the ground. The oblong head is pushed out even more while the sticky sound increases and the amount of greyish gooey mucus dripping from the cocoon is increased to a trickle. The head continues to protrude from the opening and the opening widens further.
Once the elongated head has emerged properly, the rest of the Alien monster's body hatches and its chest and five growths on its back soon become visible. The adult Alien monster extends its arms and pushes them against the tree and begins to slowly pull itself down from the tree and the cocoon. The alien monster cannot pull itself down quickly because the cocoon is cramped. The alien monster's elongated head begins to dry in the heat and the arms also begin to dry. The ridged ribcage and the five growths on the back are still wet with the gray and thick slime. The tail and legs emerge from the cocoon and a few seconds later the Alien monster is completely out of its protective cocoon and it crawls down from the tree and stands looking at the visitors it can see. The alien monster is hungry and it abandons the tree and the patch of grass. None of the visitors have seen either the cocoon or when the Alien monster was hatched.
Krister and Zak enter the building where you can take a picnic with you and eat indoors. Krister works at Michael's group accommodation and Zak is one of the people who live at Michael's group accommodation. Zak asked Krister if he could come with him to Gröna lund today. Zak likes to do things with the staff and Krister wasn't sure if it went well because they always have to be one person left at the group accommodation. Mahom and Lena said that Krister could go with Zak to Gröna lund. Krister and Zak have each bought a baguette and they want to sit indoors to avoid the intrusive wasps. Krister and Zak find an empty table that is near a large wall and they sit down and eat their baguettes. There are other visitors sitting a little further away and they are also sitting and eating their brought food.
Krister's mobile phone vibrates and when Krister picks it up, he sees that he has received a message from the resident and the message is about one of the residents. Krister gets up from the table and excuses himself and he stands against the large wooden wall and reads the message. The residents of the group accommodation are protected by the Privacy Act and therefore it is not so good if Zak can read the message. Krister reads the message carefully before writing a reply and sending it to the recipient.
Suddenly, something warm and wet lands in Krister's hair and whatever it is, it flows all over his hair. A few seconds later, it lands even more wet and hot in Krister's hair and he raises one hand and tries to wipe away the wet, but what has landed in his hair is so tough that when Krister removes his hand from his hair, it hangs long threads of grayish slime from his hand. Krister wonders where the slime is coming from and he walks away from the wall and he feels when a heavy drop of slime land on his back just before he leaves the wall. Krister turns and looks up at the long wall and high up there he can see a giant thing that looks like a cocoon and gray slime is dripping from an opening at the bottom of the cocoon.
The cocoon swells and something begins to slowly push out through the opening at the bottom and Krister can see that it looks oval and is grey-black. Krister thinks the opening of the cocoon looks like an open vagina and he is ashamed of his own associations. Krister understands that there is something hatching from the cocoon and whatever it is, it must be big because the cocoon is so big. The oval pulls in for a few seconds but then pushes out again, and Krister thinks it's reminiscent of when a child is born. Krister hears a dripping sound and turns his head to see another cocoon hanging a little further away on the long wooden wall. No oval is visible from the opening of the second cocoon, but the entire cocoon slightly bulges and swells while dripping large quantities of greyish mucus from the opening.
Krister turns his head again and looks at the first cocoon and the oval has retreated but a few seconds later it is again pressed against the opening and this time the opening widens and the oval turns out to be somewhat oblong and curved like a banana. At first Krister doesn't realize what it is he sees but as the oblong head continues to be pushed out he begins to understand what it is but his brain doesn't want to think about the unthinkable.
Is that what I think it is? It can't be, can it? Or is it actually an Alien hatching?
The oblong head continues to press against the opening and soon comes out completely with a loud plop sound and Krister can see that it is actually an Alien hatching. The oblong head is covered with a thick layer of greyish gooey slime and it comes flowing like long gray threads and lands on the floor. There is a very sticky sound and the rest of the Alien monster's body begins to be pushed forward through the narrow opening. Krister can now see the Alien monster's neck and it vibrates faintly as if air is moving through it. Krister looks at the Alien monster with great fascination. He's only seen this part of their life cycle in a movie and even though it looks grotesque when the Alien monster hatches from the cocoon, Krister can't look away from the monster. It has an almost hypnotic effect on him.
Zak hears the sticky sound and looks up at the wall to see the Alien monster hatching and he gets up and points to the cocoon and the visible part of the Alien monster.
- But eww. What is that thing that hatches from the cocoon?
- It's an Alien monster. There is another cocoon a little further away.
Krister points to the other cocoon and the Alien monster that is there has just got its entire head out of the cocoon. Zak looks at the two monsters that are about to hatch.
- Was it monsters like this that killed people in Kungsträdgården yesterday?
- Yes, they are such monsters.
- But they are born from human chests, right?
- Yes, they do, but they are smaller then.
- But were there cocoons like this at Kungsträdgården?
- I don't think so. I've only seen something like this in a movie. That movie is called Alien Romulus.
- But is it common for them to hatch like this?
- I don't know. It's only been shown in one movie so I don't really know.
The alien monster in the cocoon closest to Krister and Zak pushes its long arms out of the cocoon and places them on the wall and it begins to slowly pull itself out of the cocoon. The sticky sound immediately gets louder. More of the Alien monster's body becomes visible. The gray slime quivers like jelly from the Alien monster's ridged chest and the five growths on its back look very wet. The alien monster in the other cocoon extends its arms and begins to pull out of its cocoon as well. Zak and Krister watch the two Alien monsters as they make their way further and further out of their cocoons. Zak looks at Krister.
- Should we continue to stand and watch when they come out of the cocoons or should we do something? Those are dangerous.
- You're right. We have to warn the visitors and tell them what is happening. Come on!
Krister grabs Zak's hand and they begin to walk away from the table they've been sitting at. Zak has eaten his baguette but Krister has some left of his but since his hand is slimy he throws the baguette in a bin. The alien monster emerging from the first cocoon turns its head and appears to be looking directly at Zak and Krister. It looks like the Alien monster thinks those two are food for me but Krister isn't going to allow that. Krister warns the others sitting in the building and he points to the cocoons and he only needs to say Alien monster and there is full panic and movement among the people. The visitors quickly collect their food and hastily leave the building. Krister and Zak go out the same way they came in.
Meanwhile, the Alien monster at the back entrance also begins to hatch and it pushes its elongated head out of its cocoon and struggles hard to get out of its cocoon. So far, only a small part of the Alien monster's head is visible and the monster has to take small breaks between its struggles to be free. The alien monster tries again and this time it presses its head and body as hard as it can against the narrow opening and the opening finally widens enough for the monster to get its entire oblong head out so that it hangs outside the cocoon and the gray slime pours from the opening of the cocoon and runs down from the head in long thick strands. The alien monster takes a break because it was hard for it to press its body so hard against the opening.
The alien monster again begins to squeeze its body out of the narrow opening and it slowly moves out of the cocoon as a loud sticky sound is heard. The throat and neck become visible and then the ridged chest becomes visible. The alien monster takes a short break in its squeezing and when it again squeezes its body, the five growths on its back become visible and the monster pushes its long arms out of the cocoon and begins to pull itself out of the cocoon. The alien monster comes further and further out of its cocoon, although it happens slowly, but in the end it is completely out and it gets down to the ground and has a direct view of the two Alien monsters that came out of the cocoons in the building. The three Alien monsters meet and they are very hungry and they have a plan and start looking for food.
Krister and Zak try to warn the visitors to the park but he makes a big mistake and tells them about the cocoons instead of just saying that there are Alien monsters in the theme park. Most of the visitors have a very hard time believing that the Alien monsters hatch from large cocoons and they do not take Krister seriously. A few visitors sense that Krister is telling the truth and they begin to leave the amusement park and warn others of what might happen.
Krister sees that there are lots of young people at the new Wildride attraction and they seem to be queuing. Krister approaches the young people and tells them about the large cocoons and the Alien monsters that hatch from them but the young people think that Krister wants to remove them from the long queue and become aggressive towards him but that is not what Krister wants. He wants them to leave the park so they don't get attacked by the presumably hungry Alien monsters. A young girl points to a large placard that is near the attraction and there is a phone number for the police that visitors can call if they see any Alien monsters in the amusement park. Zak takes an extra tight grip on Krister's hand.
- I want to ride this attraction with you.
- But we have to warn the visitors.
- It might be easier if you call the phone number the girl showed. Then the police will find out immediately. The visitors don't want to believe what we say.
- Okay, you're right. I'll call them right away.
- But we can still ride the attraction, right? There is a long queue so you have time to call.
- Okay, but if there's an Alien monster coming this way, we'll leave the queue immediately.
- Of course.
Krister picks up his mobile phone and calls the number on the placard and there are five calls before his but he waits on the receiver while the queue slowly moves forward. Zak seems excited about the attraction and can hardly stand still.
Leo goes into the arcade but he doesn't intend to play any games but look for forgotten money and money that people have dropped on the floor. On a good day, Leo can find almost a hundred kroner and he deposits them in a savings account. There are very few people in the big arcade but Leo hears some girls crying hysterically and when he looks to see why they are crying he sees two dead people at a game and one dead person has a big bloody hole in his stomach and Leo looks away and goes further into the arcade. He doesn't want to be involved in this.
Leo looks under several slot machines but sees no money except at the far end of the wall by the barely used slot machines. There seems to be some coin or something that shines a lot. Leo goes to the very end of the room where the barely used games are and he bends down where he saw the thing that flashed. But it is not money but some kind of token for something. Leo twists and turns the token in his hand but there is no information about what it is used for or if it is worth money. Leo puts the token in his trouser pocket and is about to move on when he sees something strange.
There's a cocoon-like thing hanging on the wall and it's slightly higher up than the longest slot machine and Leo walks up to the cocoon. Gray slime drips from an opening at the bottom of the cocoon and Leo thinks the opening looks like a vagina and he sticks one hand through the opening and feels very thick slime welling up over his hand. Leo finds it incredibly erotic as the thick slime wells up and drowns his hand. Leo pushes his hand further up into the cocoon and suddenly feels something hard against his hand and it feels alive. Leo quickly pulls his hand out and the gooey slime hangs in long threads from his hand. Leo was scared when he felt that the cocoon contained something alive.
The cocoon begins to swell and sounds are heard from inside it, reminiscent of when porridge boils on high heat, but Leo remains in front of the cocoon. Leo is curious about what's in there. Something begins to be pushed out of the vagina-like opening and the opening widens slightly while the amount of grayish mucus dripping from the cocoon increases. Something shiny and oval can be seen through the opening but it pulls back but soon presses against the opening again. Leo realizes that something is about to hatch from the cocoon and he moves even closer so that he can better see what is happening. The oval is pushed out even more and there is a loud plop sound and the oval turns out to be something oblong and curved like a banana and Leo suspects that it is the head of some creature. The elongated head is drawn in towards the opening but does not disappear into the cocoon.
Thinking that he might be able to help the creature hatch, Leo takes a firm grip on the front of the oblong head and begins to pull it down. There are loud sticky noises from inside the cocoon and from the opening but Leo manages to pull the head out a little more and he can see a bit of the creature's neck. Leo starts to pull on the elongated head again but there is a freezing hiss from what appears to be the creature's jaw and Leo lets go of its head but he stands very close to the large cocoon watching what is happening.
The creature protrudes two long arms from the cocoon and appears to pull itself out of the cocoon with its own help. Leo can now see the creature's ribbed chest and on its back five long growths become visible and they appear to be attached to the creature's back. Leo resists the temptation to feel the five growths. The creature turns its elongated head and appears to be looking directly at Leo and Leo smiles at the creature.
- Hello, you. I saw when you started to hatch.
The creature continues to get out of its cocoon and when it is out of it, it stands on the floor and looks at Leo. Leo can't see any eyes on the creature but he guesses it still sees him somehow. Leo hears agitated voices behind him and someone grabs Leo tightly and pulls him away from the creature. Leo gets annoyed.
- Hey! Why are you pulling me?
- I'll save your life. That monster is dangerous. Why did you just stand there and watch it?
- I saw it hatch from the cocoon sitting on the wall. That creature doesn't seem dangerous.
- Seriously? You're damn lucky to still be alive. That monster kills people.
- It just came from a cocoon, so no it hasn't killed anyone.
- But you would have been its first victim if I hadn't pulled you away.
- What kind of monster is that? Does it have a name?
- It is a parasite from outer space and they are called Alien monsters.
- And they are dangerous, then?
- Very dangerous. I have to warn other visitors. My name is Otto, by the way. What is your name?
- Well, my name is Leo.
Otto nods at Leo. They are standing outside the arcade and the others who were in the arcade have already left it because they saw when the Alien monster was hatched but they didn't dare to approach Leo and warn him of the impending danger. Otto walks further into the park and continues to warn visitors about the Alien monster while Leo twists and turns the token he found.
It must be his lucky token.

Ps: I thought it was fun to use something that was in the new Alien movie, namely the cocoon. Whether the Chestburster really squirts white pulp from its jaw and yellowish pulp from an opening at the tail, no one knows, but it could be that way.
