Wiiiiiiiild. I get a very strong feeling that this poor sucker has done cracked. The way I read it, he was hallucinating and there were no creatures — but I could also see it being that the pods somehow malfunctioned and turned each sleeper into one of these things.

Excellent work.

Ohhh yes, I love me some sci-fi horror. This was phenomenal, particularly the insanely good description of the creature every time it was present. My cosmic horror novel I'm currently working on has similar sort of grotesque monster designs, and I am 1000% inspired to improve their descriptions based on what you did here.

My inner gamer also got major Dead Space, Alien Isolation, and SOMA vibes from this, which is very much a compliment.

There seems to have been a terrible overpromise hahaha
