Mate. Die. Repeat. “Five…” I wake up in a glass pod. I’ve been abducted. “Four…” I’m surrounded by alien beasts, all roaring and desperate to mate me. “Three...” I fight to escape but the glass is unbreakable. “Two…” One of the alien beasts is calm, thoughtful, nothing like the others… “One...” I whimper a prayer and hope someone somewhere will protect me. “Launch.” My pod is released and it screams into the planet’s atmosphere below. The Mating Games have begun. And I am the champion’s Prize.
