Telegrams

Imperfect derelict our course set
Thrusters full power be there on the hour
Landing not too demanding outstanding
Space suits not loose a messy decompression refused

Beetle shaped spaceship destination of our trip
Something strange couldn’t see outside of visual range
We got closer and closer noticed odd structures
Like webbing we’re dreading what would be inhabiting

No one there implied nightmares give us scares
Found the bridge dead crew storage
Chest cavity calamities got the best of three
Broke free from inside but where did they hide?

Beyond the darkness we hear a choral hiss
Then three slithery shapes escape
Insectoid devoid of eyes we must avoid
We were warned malevolent lifeforms

Lost my crew hid from view need rescue
SOS brief texts deadly mess not long to live I guess
Oxygen low nowhere else to go
Hear a hiss cannot dismiss this is it–
