by Darcy Coates
Genre: Horror/Science Fiction
My teaser is from page 27% in the eBook.
“It’s got me, Jen. I dropped my stinger, and I can’t get it off – ” She grunted in pain then yelled something incoherent.
Jen called to her, but Carly either didn’t here or couldn’t respond; she kept screaming and screaming. The shriek’s pitch rose…
Then there was silence.

Synopsis
Synopsis
It wears our skin…
Station 331, situated on a remote moon near at edge of the known system, isn’t a prestigious place to work. Its three-person staff has one basic job: kill the plant-like lifeforms that come off space rubble and meteors.
Jen just wants to get through her eight-month shift without going crazy from the tedium or her co-workers’ bickering. That plan crumbles when Carly discovers a strange lifeform during a routine patrol.
The small, fluid creature nestled in the base of a crater doesn’t match any of the entries in their database. Protocol says they should call for backup, but Carly insists they can deal with the lifeform themselves.
It’s a simple choice for Jen, but her mistake will unleash unimaginable horror…
…and the nearest help is three days away.
Station 331 is a short story in the five-part Cymic Parasite Breach series. Each story can be read independently.
