Chapter 4

Josh wanted to put as much distance between him and the downed craft as possible. He just had to be careful where he put his hands as many of the vines he had to push out of the way had some sort of nasty, biting, alien creature on them. It had not taken him long to pick up the f...

Stung! by Sixth

Chapter 18

The creature was bright red and yellow. Alice knew what that would likely mean; the insect wanted to be spotted; it wanted to broadcast how venomous it was. Alice grabbed it with her free hand and flung the disgusting looking insect creature out of the cave. "It's the pollen....
