By the time I managed to make it to my feet, I was seriously pissed off at how weak I felt. I stumbled to the bars in front of me, clutching on to the cold metal to keep myself upright. Mylegs didn’t want to support my weight. I glanced down the row of stalls.

When my vision filled with a giant black scorpion walking on its four back legs, I let out a sharp squeal and forgot to hold onto the bars. My ass slammed into the hard packed dirt.

“Son of a bitch,” I yelled.

The gate to my stall opened, and the scorpion entered the small space. I was locked in place, staring at the strange thing as it seemed to yell at me, then gestured toward the opening. It wanted me to go through the door. I didn’t want to go along with anything it wanted. Vigorously shaking my head, I scrambled backward.

His large pincher tail, or whatever it was, reached toward me. I’m not ashamed to admit that the scream I released could rival the ditzy women you see on b-rated horrors. It grabbed my wrist and yanked me to my feet. Surprisingly, the thing didn’t hurt me as it pulled me out of the stall and down the long aisle. When I tried to jerk free, it became apparent quickly that it would not let go and it was a lot stronger than I was. I would not win a tug of war with the creepy fucker.

I looked at the women in the stalls as I passed by, all of us helpless. None of us were any match for these strange beings. There were at least ten other scorpions moving women around.

Where were they taking us? Was the anal probing going to happen behind the door it was leading me through?I dug in my heels.

Nope. I did not want anything shoved up my ass, thank you very much. Holy shit, what if we were on the menu?

I’d just watched a video about some cultures that ate cow’s vaginas.

Is that why there were only women here? Was this scorpion about to snack on my vajayjay?

My heartbeat faster and faster. My breath became shallow. No way was I ready to die. I hadn’t had time to really live, for fuck’s sake. I had spent my life looking after my mom. And then I’d wasted time on stupid men. Fuck me, I had nothing to show for my time on Earth. Tears poured from my eyes as helplessness overcame me.

My jailer ignored my sobs and yanked me into a large room. The floor, walls, ceiling, and table were all white. It pointed to the table, and by now I knew it was pointless to argue. Bring on the anal probing, vagina eating alien mother fuckers.

When I laid back it released me only to be replaced by straps that wrapped around my head, wrists and waist seemingly on their own. Nifty trick. Yep, I was fucked. The scorpion left the room, leaving me with nothing but my thoughts.

One crappy decision after another. That summed up my life. Joyriding at twelve after my dad ditched me and my mom had started it all off. I’d just wanted to get away from my mom for a while. She’d been having a party and the strange men in the house had terrified me. James, my friend from next door, had snuck out of his house and we had borrowed one of the guests’ Mustangs. My mom had been too drunk and high to give a shit.

James’ parents had forbidden him from seeing me after that. He’d continued to sneak out when he could check up on me, but the house had been repossessed soon after, so we’d lost touch. James had been the only one at the time who gave two shits about me, so it had been a devastating blow to lose his friendship. Funny how I hadn’t thought of him in years. I wondered what his life was like now.

I bet it was going better than mine.

The door opened and the alien that walked through was the original tentacle fucker who I’d seen from the first cage. Or at least it looked like the same one. Another being walked in, this one thankfully was more humanoid. It had arms and legs,a weird bald shaped head and purple skin. It had on a metal looking skirt and carried an iPad, or something similar. The thing was definitely male, going by the low tone of its voice, although I couldn’t understand a word between the two.

I tried to shrink away when he approached the bed, but the straps prevented me from moving. The humanoid injected me with something, and I felt instantly calmer. What followed was a complete invasion of privacy. They thoroughly inspected every inch of my body after stripping me down. Every single inch.

The ugly tentacle freak saw everything while the humanoid tapped on its tablet. When the alien unshackled and spread my legs, it inserted a tentacle into my vagina, and then my ass. I let out a whimper, but it was over quickly, and it wasn’t actually painful, thank God. It felt clinical, like getting a pap from the doctor.

I knew there’d be probing of some kind.

I felt a sharp pinch and then my thigh felt like it was on fire. A huge ass needle was gripped in the tentacle that pulled away from my body.

Fucker injected me again.

The purple one skimmed an electronic wand over me. My entire body tingled with warmth. When he was done, the straps holding my body released and disappeared under the bed. The humanoid gestured to the door. I jumped down, completely naked. When I tried to grab my shredded clothing, anything was better than nothing, tentacles stopped me.

“Fut thisss.” I pointed to my clothes, then my naked body. “I wan my stuuff.”

What the heck did they give me?

The humanoid scooped up my purse.Huh, I hadn’t realized it was still with me.He pressed it into my hands, then tentacles pushed me out of the room.

“I want my clothesss,” I shouted at the closed door.

Another scorpion, hell maybe the same one, grabbed my wrist and pulled me down the aisle. I slung my purse strap around my body so I wouldn’t lose it while I stumbled along behind the alien. It shoved me into a large pen, this one with other humans. All women.

Woah, did I look as stoned as they do?I lifted my arm and waved it through the air in front of my face. Stars and sparkling bits trailed my slow-moving arm.

Yep, I was high as fuck.I plunked down and let out a giggle while watching a woman dance around the ring in front of me.
