I live in Shah Alam, a small town in Malaysia. Nearby my house, there is a playground. I love to bring my son to play whenever we have time.
One night about 8pm, as usual i brought my son to the playground. He loves to play the slide. For me, i just sat at one of the benches, keeping a lookout for him. My son kept playing the slide non-stop and he didnt bother to try the other rides. Thank God for that! I will tell you why i said this.
There was nobody else on the playground except for us. What happened was, i noticed that one of the swings behind the slide area moved on its own! There were two swings and if it was caused by the wind, both of them would move but no!
Only one of them was swinging on its own. It was very obvious 'something' was seating on it!! I began to panic!
"Adam! Stop playing now!" i called out to my son.
"Wait, Mummmy. I still want to play!" my son was being rebellious.
"I said now! We're going to go home now!" i raised my voice, being more stern to him.
To make this whole experience more creepy, the moment i reminded my son about going home, the swing suddenly stopped moving! The flooring of the playground is filled with sand.
I could see footsteps walking towards us from the swing! I ran towards my son, carried him and quickly left the area. As i was rushing back home, my son kept saying,
"Scared, scared. Im scared! Mummy, im scared!"
Since he was facing the back area as i carried him, i think he could see what was following us! So i ran back home as fast as i could.
Thank God this whole experience stopped there and its a miracle that whatever the thing was didnt follow us back home.
Just imagine the night was still early. This happened before 9pm. One good lesson for me. I will never bring my son to the playground after 7pm again.

Beast
A threat to the galaxy has come from another, and the Union of intelligent life will go to any length to stop it. Military Quarantine has held for hundreds of thousands of cycles. Traders, merchants, colonists, and Pirates live risky lives along the fringes as the politics from the inner systems fail to see the larger threats beyond their borders. A lone human finds himself far from home with no memories to how he arrived. A failing Trade vessel plays on a desperate gamble, while a malicious parasite searches for a suitable host. ............................................. Author's note: Beast is a story that I wrote a long, long time ago. Some of you might have read it then, back when it was posted on reddit over at r/HFY. It was my first webfiction and made in the spirit of that subreddit's "genre" of humanity being awesome. But, it is also a story that has bothered me a little bit. Just like most new writers tend to do, I made mistakes and errors that feel painful to reread. A Space Opera will be a Space Opera, but I had prose that makes present-me cringe. Still, at the same time, the story is still very much a tale I've never given up on. It was my first adventure into fiction: Beast was a crazy adventure with bodysnatching aliens, galactic war, threats from across the universe... Posting this story here is a way to try and redeem myself a bit. I won't call it a complete rewrite, because it's not, but I have wanted to go through and correct some of the major issues Beast has for a long time and put it somewhere more accessible to read (instead of as posts/comments on reddit) and I figure that now is as good a time as any. Additional corrections you might notice are welcome.
