Shreen Is Missing
Short Story (Horror)
Excerpt: “I started checking between the rows of crates when I heard Chen say, “Hey, some of the crates have been damaged. There’s rubble all over--” Then the most horrible scream exploded through the cargo hold. I dashed to the hold and skidded to a stop.Chen was held by what looked like a huge insect. A beetle at least three meters tall stood on its hind legs. Two spindly gray legs held Chen to it’s head. It had lanced him in the chest with a long proboscis. He spasmed and jerked. An awful slurping sound came from the thing. I screamed and spun around to run for help when something hard and spiny grabbed me around my waist. It lifted me and turned me towards it. The twin of the insect stared at me with a thousand compound eyes. It too had a long proboscis, which started to extend towards me. I grabbed it with both hands and held for all I was worth.”
