Monsters, Sharks and Dinosaurs - 8 August 2024: *Alien - Imagine you're aboard a spaceship, the silence broken only by the low hum of machinery. Suddenly, alarms blare.

Something's on board. You hear skittering in the vents, a hiss in the shadows. Before you can react, a nightmare springs forth - sleek, black, with an elongated head and a mouth within a mouth. You've just encountered a Xenomorph, the perfect organism, and your chances of survival have just dropped to near zero.Imagine the worst stomach ache you've ever had. / Now, multiply that by a thousand and throw in the feeling of your organs being rearranged by a malevolent creature. That's just the start of what it's like to have the Alien inside you.First, you'd feel a deep, gnawing pressure in your chest. At first, you might think it's just heartburn from that suspicious leftover Chinese food. But then it intensifies, feeling like a steel vise slowly tightening around your ribs. Breathing becomes a Herculean effort, each gasp a knife twisting deeper into your chest. Your skin feels clammy and slick with sweat as panic sets in. You might even vomit, but nothing comes up because your stomach is too busy being a playground for this parasitic monstrosity. / Your pulse races, thundering in your ears, as every heartbeat sends searing jolts of pain through your body.And then it happens. A sharp, excruciating tare rips through your sternum. The pain is unimaginable, a white-hot lance of agony. Blood sprays in all directions, coating everything around you in a gruesome crimson mist. You try to scream, but your lungs have collapsed under the pressure. Your skin splits open like a grotesque flower in bloom, and the alien bursts forth in a horrific eruption of blood, bone, and viscera. It's a sickening sight: the creature, covered in your lifeblood, screeching its first breath of freedom. / Your last moments are spent in sheer, unadulterated agony, knowing that this abomination has used your body as an incubator, and now, it's free to wreak havoc on whatever poor souls cross its path next.And as your vision fades to black, you realize that death is a merciful release from the nightmare of having been a living, breathing alien nursery.
