Alright, this, well, plan, for lack of a better word, might not have been... thought out to its full potential. Halfway thought out might even be generous. Considering that I'm hurtling toward an icy wasteland in a tiny ship. Reese has spent her whole life on Outlier, the first deep-space base. When the first alien they can see without a microscope not only manages to communicate with her, but asks for her help, she finds herself on a journey through Pagos.

Five co-workers and a guide struggle with a creature, a live relic from the past and from another dimensional plane. The creature is simultaneously lizard and birdlike, while also having anthropoidic characteristics. Once upon a time, this alien race made contact with a lost human Civilization in the region. The two races initially made an alliance, but the greed of some of the humans caused a war to erupt. The discovery and cursory inspection of the cave by one of the characters results in an impromptu, amateur tour. During the journey through the cave one of the co-workers, through a combination of stubbornness, curiosity and willfulness, becomes separated. He stumbles upon a cache of interesting artifacts inside of an oddly inhuman room with alien technology. It is in these confines where he unlocks the being whose last memories of human interaction are still freshly stinging its memory. The group grapples through the tenuous caves trying to escape the creature's vengeful wrath. The ensuing mad flight from the cave to relative safety results in a battle for survival.

The eighth novel in The Shadow Wars. After the events of Ceaseless and Snowblind, Allan Gray, formerly a member of Security-Investigations, now a Specialist in Special Operations, is having some trouble keeping sane. He experiences sudden tremors, inexplicable terrors, and is incapable of removing his suit of power armor, even for something as simple as a shower. He knows something is wrong, but refuses to let anyone else into his life. All he wants is to keep doing his job, keep running missions and bury his head in responsibility so that he doesn't have to put up with his own problems. So when Hawkins comes to him with another dangerous job, he leaps at the opportunity. Allan's new objective seems simple, on the surface: investigate a Rogue Ops ship found adrift in space. Intel is low, no one has any idea what happened to the ship or even what it was doing, but an opportunity to seize crucial data on the enemy is too good to pass up. Allan and a small team of experts are rushed out to the isolated vessel. Upon arrival, the mission goes bad and Allan finds himself trapped on a Rogue Ops ship, facing down an enemy more insidious, more lethal than any he's ever encountered before...

Innocent Love. (The Host Movie.) (A Jamie Love Story!) 〰 by JessicaChamberson

This story is about the movie The Host, with a little spice to it. Hope you like it! ✔️ Completely Edited 〰Partly Edited.

It was called reboot because I wanted to start over and use old characters for a new story. I was a lil hesitant to upload this one cause I was worried it might be confusing with the writing style changing. It was my time I got back into writing in a long time and wanted to experiment. Also, sorry some parts are shorter then others; again was experimenting.

Alien: Isolation (1st POV Ripley Edition) by RedRubikon19

A detailed description of the first-person gameplay of "Alien: Isolation" with many of my personal impressions of the horror effects in the Sevastopol orbital station. Interesting for those who haven't played yet or are too scared to play this masterpiece. Yes, you can now take this journey while reading. Obviously, this is written in English language and intended for English speakers, connoisseurs and readers of all kinds.

A group of friends had an evening summer party in Isla Nulo, but turns out the party turns into a traumatizing experience as the entity called "Limbo" were lurking in the island. This story was inspired from John Carpenter's The Thing. Cover Artist: Alyssa Paano

A continuation of the first Doctor Gore story, if you haven't read that first, please do so before reading this one. Happy Halloween!

On Bouvet Island, 7 British researchers are sent to a research base, with the purpose of fostering a prominent-enough discovery to make their mission a success. They think they find the key to this when they find an alien ship buried in the Bouvetian mountains. However, what they find makes their mission not one of research - but one of survival. This is a fanfic loosely based on John Carpenter's 1982 film 'The Thing'. Despite how it may be written, it is just a little novella I made for my friends to enjoy and shouldn't be taken very seriously ;) It was written with various Wattpad stereotypes heavily in mind (hence, orbs), and inside jokes between myself and my friends.
