I'M LOST. I'M SCARED. AND THERE'S SOMETHING HORRIBLE IN HERE.

My name is Gary Rendell. I'm an astronaut. When they asked me as a kid what I wanted to be when I grew up, I said, "astronaut, please!" I dreamed astronaut, I worked astronaut, I studied astronaut. I got lucky; when a probe exploring the Oort Cloud found a strange alien rock and an international team of scientists was put together to go and look at it, I made the draw.

I got even luckier. When disaster hit and our team was split up, scattered through the endless cold tunnels, I somehow survived.

Now I'm lost, and alone, and scared, and there's something horrible in here.

Lucky me.

Lucky, lucky, lucky.

This was a perfect mix of science fiction and wit I have come across in a long time.

The story was read by the author himself and boy o boy was he able to breath life into the character.

Loved it!!!!

Great story, Great narration very entertaining

I went in not knowing what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised. I sure as hell didn't expect a mind bending tale of cosmic horror and didn't see where the story was going.

Quite the ride!
