The Mating Games

Mate. Die. Repeat.

“Five…”
I wake up in a glass pod. I’ve been abducted.
“Four…”
I’m surrounded by alien beasts, all roaring and desperate to mate me.
“Three...”
I fight to escape but the glass is unbreakable.
“Two…”
One of the alien beasts is calm, thoughtful, nothing like the others…
“One...”
I whimper a prayer and hope someone somewhere will protect me.
“Launch.”
My pod is released and it screams into the planet’s atmosphere below.
The Mating Games have begun. And I am the champion’s Prize.
