This story was written to participate in the Halloween Vault 2021Contest for the Adventure category. The rules required that you be within five hundred words and use the following eight: vessel, tunic, antenna, trap, mutant, cigar, insect and guillotine. 
I wanted to write an adventure inspired by and linked to another original sci-fi story of mine: "The Rite of Passanger". 
It deliberately contains tributes to some literary classics, can you spot them? 
I hope you like it and have fun. 
Enjoy your reading!
