A Thing That Should Not Be
        
There is a creature that has no name. It's will, it's purpose and it's origins are unknown. Our weapons and intellect are useless to stop it. It kills our kind and fears us not. It craves on our flesh, yet needs it not. There is no rhyme of motive in its actions, nor is there discernible reason. There are no bounds on it's form or numbers, yet all it's parts are of one hive entity, working to serve an unknowable purpose.

Ophelia was a young,
petite red-head with short, neck length hair. One morning she awoke
with a start, to find herself lying on the overgrown, jungle floor of
a warm, tropical rain forest. This was an odd place to awake as she
lived in Detroit and it was in the middle of October. She worked as
a secretary for a pig of an investment broker. She certainly never
traveled anywhere like this on her pay. In fact, the last thing she
could remember was eating dinner alone, before going to bed alon

Chapter 10
No Good Deed
        
Becky could tell she was getting close to the module by now. Her Cryo-pod's computer was clear enough on the directions that she was sure of it's proximity. This part of the jungle was ancient looking. The trees were huge, thick and spaced far apart. The canopy blocked the sun so well, that it seem like darkness had consumed the skies. Some of the plants around her were pitcher shaped with glowing flowers in their enormous

Chapter 11
Traces of a saboteur
        
Emma and Allen had left the tunnel some time ago and were getting very close to the module. Emma tried explaining that the tunnel had to have been made by a laser to be so accurately straight and smooth but Allen remained skeptical.
        
``No way. Ok then, who did it? The elves? Aliens? It's got to be natural.'' Allen said.

Becky's Fate Part 1
        
Once the belly ant had reached it's destination, it stopped and stood motionless, save for the thrashing screaming form in it's stomach. It waited like a robot, waiting for it's master to give it a new set of instructions. Ironically, this was not far from the truth. The chamber in which it stood, was lined, ceiling to floor, with a black rubbery resin and attached to the walls were two elves. One was obviously pregn

Chapter 13
Tales of grandeur
        
Emma Spent the next few hours enplaning everything she had been through to Minako who quietly listened, asking an occasional question here and there. Emma felt good being able to vent. It was nice to have some one she could trust, to talk to. After they spoke Emma found a quiet nook in the module ate some of her survival food and fell asleep. Again, she had nightmares but this time, she dreamed of faceless stalkers and

Chapter 15
On The Road Again
        
After wandering the tunnels for a half an hour, Minako and Emma turned to go back but the door they had just gone through was locked. Emma raised her rifle to shoot it but Minako shook her head and pointed to a field generator embedded in the wall protecting the door from such attacks.
        
``This is too weird, what is all this earth technology doing here?'' Emma asked. Frust

Petra, a Spoon Full of Sugar
        
Petra awoke, a few days latter, to find herself bound to a cold metal operating table in a small room with no windows and only one door. She had been kept in a constant state of sedation since that fateful day, when the lights went out. The table she was on, was the only furnishing in her cramped little room. Her legs were bound to birthing stirrups at the foot of her bed. They forced her legs spread apart a

Chapter 4
The Fool's Errand
        
When Angie woke up, her pod door was already open and her pods power cell was depleted. Now, no one would ever accuse her of having an overabundance of brains but she did realize that something wasn't right.
        
She was a short girl with platinum blond hair that fell to her shapely round ass. She had sharp blue eyes and a perpetual smile, that she sometimes even wore in her s

Chapter 5
Hail and farewell
        
A few minutes after her encounter, continuing down the path, Emma found an open cryo-pod in a clearing. In the distance, she could see an elf getting swallowed by some kind of giant flower. Beyond that, she spotted a stream. She decided to avoid the plant, hoping the owner of this pod was smart enough to do the same.
        
As she rounded on the entrance, she noticed that the su

The Price of Fear
        
``Hello?!'' Janet Web shouted. She was a plump woman in her early thirties and she wore her weight well. She had long auburn hair with white streaked bangs. Her slightly tilted brown eyes, were so dark, they were almost black, traits that she inherited from her Korean mother. Her round ass and wide hips were covered in dried mud, from a spill she had taken earlier in the evening. It cracked and pealed from her body with

Chapter 7
Of Castles and Strange People
        
Neither Emma nor Allen got much sleep that night. Emma kept dreaming about the plant from the field. In her dream, it was eating her as her husband coldly watched, leaving her to be digested by the beast when she was in its belly. The same fate she had left Angie to only hours earlier.
        
Allen kept dreaming about his wife's death. Something he kept to himself.

Chapter 8
Hooked on Heights
        
The small cave she found last night, had provided Lynette with the precious shelter she needed during the night and hid her from the strange, clear, blue worm, thing, that had tried to eat her. The worm thing was gone and the dim blue sun was out, casting an alien light on an alien landscape. It was time for Lynette to continue her quest for the module. She'd have to make good time because she lost her pack trying to es

Chapter 9
Echoes
        
It had been an hour and a half since they had passed, unknown to them, under the still form of Lynette. (The woman from the previous chapter) The acid had burned a small hole in Emma's shirt. Allen kept scratching his head and making confused looks at the terrain while Emma grew more and more impatient.
        
``Where are you taking us man?'' Emma asked. Her frustration was apparent, on h

Chapter 18
A sentient predator
        
``I am such a Klutz!'' Amy said brushing herself off. She had managed to find one of those steep, natural spillways cut into the jungle mountainside that people are always sliding down in the movies. And, just like in the movies, this one happened to end in a sheer face overhanging a large river rapid. You know, the kind that carries off the would-be hero miles away before they can crawl onto the shore coughing and
