Hardcore Halloween Story Time Part 2Star HeroesAt first, Dressler couldnt understand what was happening. He stood up and looked around his berth, completely perplexed. Then, after a short while, it dawned on him.Silence. Absolute silence.It wasn't a strange noise that he heard, it was an absence of one. The steady hum of the ships reactor that was ever-present and reassuring was suddenly no more. But why didnt the emergency lights switch on, and why arent warning sirens blaring all throughout the ship?Then he heard something else. A gentle, almost imperceptible tapping.Tap tap tapHe quickly rushed to the door, pushing the red glowing button next to it to unlock and open it, but the door remained closed. Hey! he yelled while repeatedly pushing the unresponsive button, Whats going on!? Im stuck here! Is anybody there!?But there was no response. Only that faint little sound.Tap tap tapDressler started panicking. He could feel it, like a snake that was slowly wrapping around his insides. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. I need to calm down, he thought, Ive been through worse, this is completely explainable, its fine, Ill be fine, the stars, yes!TapHe turned around to look from the window, to gaze at the stars that calmed him so much. The stars that always provided solace when he most needed it. But what he saw outside the windowwas far from calming.A white face with deep black holes instead of eyes and a gaping toothless mouth was staring with blind gaze right at him. And a hand, mangled and crooked with one finger extended, gently tapping at the window.Heroes, Dressler thought, forever in the starsAnd as the tapping grew louder and louder, and first cracks started appearing on the window, he knew that he'd be joining them soon.END
