In honor of both Halloween and the thirtieth anniversary of the film that sparked off the franchise, AMC showed all four Alien movies this weekend. (My VCR, through my own fault, missed taping the first hour of the first film, but that’s beside the point.)

Then I got to thinking. This is the result.

Write something appropriate for the upcoming holiday, but with a bent towards space/science fiction. Be it a standalone or a string of ficlets, it is welcome here. I’ve left the deadline for the first to permit story creation right up until 11:59:59 on All Hallow’s Eve.

Lock and load!
