Jim’s Log #4
“Audience, since my last entry, I’ve discovered a new species of reptile. I’ve ventured for what’s felt like hours, and though I’m stuck among the shadows of these serpents, I can’t help but feel giddy. Giddy because, well –
I’m on an adventure!
I’ve reason to believe they eat crabs, as there are hundreds of them on the floor wherever I go, and they all look just like Hedy, but smaller and pale. Curiously, Hedy was of a darker pigment and had webbed legs. Now, I’m no expert, but this was rather strange, even for a crab. I’m assuming Hedy’s a premature king crab. I’ll protect you, Hedy!
Now, onto my recent scientific discovery. I’d gone and lost any sense of direction and chanced upon a new catwalk formed from the constant shifting of this hotel’s architecture. The insides seem to morph every ten minutes or so, which caught me off guard while on the catwalk and threw me down a good twenty feet.
Well, how utterly lucky of me it was that they didn’t notice my rough landing. (It may have helped that I was two stories above them.)
What seemed like millions of them crowded around a gigantic version, and the poor old girl – I’m assuming she’s their Queen, as in a bee hive – was stuck. Fascinating! I was told Italy held peculiar species of lizard, but living dinosaurs! Wow!
Of course, another part of me, perhaps my fear, held me from introducing myself to this new species, especially because Hedy was in my bag and they eat crabs. I simply watched, as I do, as they began to salivate an acidic liquid from their gums, freeing their Queen.
But she was beautiful. Even as she seemed… angry at the statues of ancient masked Native American Hunters all around the room, she radiated a certain twisted extravagance. It was as if I was staring at a frozen ocean in motion…
Oh, no! She’ll eat all the crabs, and Hedy won’t have any friends!”
Plot Twist
*A human! But so far up, I don’t think he’s a prob –
Hold on – the scent. A Queen Facehugger? The Demons! They want to replace me!*
