《Human Crisis》Horror
Advertisement
Crisis screamed.
She was human again. The wizard was back. She didn’t know how it was possible. He was dead! She’d seen his corpse!
All the reasoning in the world wouldn’t help her escape, though. The wizard leered up at her. He licked his lips and opened his mouth.
Crisis couldn’t tear her eyes from the horrible sight. “NOOOOO! DON’T EAT ME! I’M NOT PREY!” She shoved against his fingers, flailed her legs, even bit his hand, but nothing helped.
He dropped her into his mouth and closed it, shoving her about with his tongue as she squirmed in panic, trying and failing to get a good hold on the slippery surface in the darkness. The giant tilted his mouth up and she started sliding back, clawing at the tongue. He opened his mouth again, and she saw the Giant Tree, the same one she had grown up under, had lived under for all those years.
She frantically reached for it, as if it could save her somehow, but the tongue curled up in front of her, sliding onto her face, blocking her view, shoving her backwards.. Her legs were caught in the throat.
“NOOOO! NOOOO! NOOOOOOOO!!” She screamed all the way down the suffocating tube. She fell into that horrible acid once again. She clawed at the walls, slipping down several times. But it was what she saw when she turned around that really haunted her.
Beth was floating limp, face down in the muck. “Oh shit… oh shit… oh shit…” cried Crisis, picking her way towards her. “Beth!” she cried. “Please, don’t be dead!” She lifted Beth’s head up out of the water and… and…
Crisis howled and fell backwards with a splash. She gagged and desperately, blindly tried to get her footing, shoving against the squishy floor to get her head back above the acid.

The image was stuck in her mind. Beth’s face had melted off. She had seen slabs of bone, shredded muscle and tatters of discolored skin, blood leaking from the sides of the gaping hole where her face used to be. She didn’t even want to think about what had been in the eye sockets.
“LET ME OUT!” she screamed, over and over again, pounding against the walls. “I JUST GOT BACK! I’M NOT READY TO DIE!” She remembered what had happened the first time, and called out “SUBETA! SAVE ME! GET ME OUT OF HERE! TAKE ME BACK!”
But nothing happened. The saving light didn’t come. All she felt was the horrible pain as her skin began to slough off.
She didn’t die, but the burning didn’t stop. She looked down at herself.
Skin was coalescing back onto her, as though time were flowing in reverse. But it was different. It was brown, furry skin. She reached up to her head and found cat-ears, reached down to her behind and found a tail.
She was a neko. She continued flailing about in confusion as time continued reversing. She fell up into the esophagus, drying off instantly. She was pulled upwards into the mouth, and after being sloshed around by the tongue once again, she fell upwards into the monster’s hand.
She looked around wildly, trying to figure out what was going on. Her eyes widened as they settled on the giant face. But it wasn’t the wizard's face smiling at her this time.
It was her face.
Crisis screamed.
She woke up with a start, almost falling off the branch where she had been sleeping.

The Cosmic Interloper
Synopsis: A cyborg transhuman escapes her corporate indenture and through unfathomably unlikely circumstances, she ends up in a fantasy world of full of unique magic, angry people with sharp implements, and the whole flavor-spectrum of divine entities. Hilarity ensues. Features: - No blue boxes or cultivation, this is not a LitRPG nor about martial arts - Hard-ish Sci-Fi meets hard-ish magic - Generally trying to keep this "rational" Rationale: My primary goal with The Cosmic Interloper is to write something that I myself would enjoy reading. Of course, that’s not the only motivation, but I think it’s the most important one for me to keep in mind, especially as the author. In fact, this whole story came about because after consuming oodles of fiction, I found myself craving a very specific type of story which I couldn’t find many examples of. Then I asked myself, “why not write it myself?” and here we are. Disclaimer: In general, while I’m not writing a comedy, I do intend for this story to be funny and a bit wacky or absurd. That said though, I am using this story as a vehicle to explore some potentially dark topics including (but not limited to) slavery, speciesism/racism, and existential questions of self, consciousness, and identity. Still, I’m going to leave the “traumatizing content” tags off, because I don’t feel that what I’ve written so far (or plan on writing) exceeds the threshold that would be necessary for me to tag it thusly. Also, [insert your favorite boilerplate “views expressed” disclaimer here]. I shouldn’t need to say this, but the main character can be wrong on occasion (gasp!) and the way she views the world is not the objective truth (if such a thing even exists).

Zeltis
Alexander Kent has many things going for him, but despite all his wonderful qualities, he still finds himself the target of bullies. The harshest of his many critics is the one who worries him the most: his father. A near-tragic accident renders Alex incapacitated. As he hangs on death’s door, he’s visited by the unlikeliest of beings: a demon. Their unfathomable exchange becomes even more troubling when he’s offered a second chance at life… in exchange for use of his body by the devil himself. Alex’s deal with the devil leads him into a hidden supernatural world, rife with mystery, danger, and a convoluted web of the worst the underworld has to offer. Now, he has no memory of his ill-fated deal and is desperate to break free of the hold the Demon King and his minions have on him, but escaping their clutches may prove to be more difficult than any battle he’s ever faced. (Author's note: I've had writers block on this for a while but recently hired a professional editor. I don't think it will be much longer before I have new chapters. A cover is also in discussion. I won't just drop it. Thanks to Papillion for the cover!!!)
