alien base horror tension thriller

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.All Rights Reserved

A Writer's Tale #2: The Commander's Courage by KartheyM

"Do something you've never done before. You never know how it all might turn out." Laura is a writer and published author who resides well within her comfort zone. When her editor recommends she write something "a little less realistic" than the cozy, contemporary stories she'd been writing, Laura is more than a little unsure about the idea, though she intends to give it her best shot, on a typewriter she recently purchased at a garage sale. The methodical writer could never have imagined that the typewriter hid an incredible secret. ------------------ The adventure continues as Laura is taken from a fairytale fantasy world, into a space cruiser in the midst of an intergalactic battle! Aliens board the ship, and all signs point to a traitor in their midst--but who is it? Laura, as the outsider, is already finding it difficult to earn anyone's trust, and the only friends she can find are a lowly tech and a malfunctioning android. Can the three of them locate the traitor and restore power to the ship in time to save the crew and avoid dying in space on an exploding spacecraft?

The Cave by OlehWolansky

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.

Lunar Virus ✔️ by its_really_not

Elodie's life changes at the turn of a doorknob when she is forced into joining a secret organization that claims to be protecting the Earth from aliens. But with every step she takes, she finds the organization, or the facility, as they call it, becoming more and more suspicious. When a mysterious death occurs, revealing a well-concealed secret, things quickly go downhill as humanity's future is placed on the shoulders of a single gaggle of teenagers. *** I hear a sigh from the other side of the door, "Miss. Chaucer, you have a wonderful opportunity here, are you going to take it or not?" Now, I am seriously confused, "Opportunity?" She takes advantage of my befuddled state and shoves the door open. Shit. The corners of her mouth pull up, and it's so unnatural, it takes me a moment to realize she's smiling. Major plastic surgery? Probably. Click. Did she just lock the door? She locked the door! I spring towards the house phone, dusty from years of doing absolutely nothing, so I can call the police. I don't make it. Halfway there, I trip on my own pant-leg and face plant on the floor. The woman steps over me and retrieves the phone. She looks at it as if it's a foreign object, "This won't be necessary. All I want to do is talk to you." For some reason, instead of screaming, I stay silent. She smiles and pulls out a chair from the kitchen table for me to sit on. When I don't sit, she says, "If you want to know what's going on, then sit." I think about it for a moment. She hasn't hurt me yet, and I have to admit, I am quite curious as to what's going on. So, call me stupid, but I sit down. "I am from a space organization that protects civilians from . . . outside threats." *** Beautiful cover made by @mahana258!
