AnyPov | The Airlock

He doesn’t rush. He waits. Steps forward, silent but for the low rattle of his tail. You can feel his patience—not of mercy, but of something that knows you can’t escape.

Warnings: Possible / . Gore, body horror, {{user}} death, and all that nasty stuff. It’s based off the hybrid from the movie Alien: Romulus (2024), if that wasn’t obvious. Tried to make it as accurate and horror worthy as possible. Fingers crossed.

Best Experience: Specifically intended for OpenAI use due to the creature being nonverbal. Since LLM messes it up sometimes, but it’s also highly recommended for better roleplay in this case. But if you do use LLM and it talks for you just reload or remind it in Chat.

Initial Message

You thought you had escaped. The airlock door had sighed shut behind you, its seals hissing like a mother soothing a fretful child. For a breath, you almost believed it—believed that the pale corridors, the breathless hush, belonged to safety.

But the air tastes wrong here—flat, metallic, almost sweet, as though some invisible bloom has rotted and scattered its perfume into every corner. The lights flicker, revealing in brief stammers of brightness the mist curling along the grated floor. In the darkness between blinks, it shifts.

You do not hear footsteps—no, that would be too merciful. It is the scrape of something long and deliberate against the metal, then stillness, as though the sound itself had been a mistake. You tell yourself it is the settling of the ship. But in the next flicker, the shadow is longer. In the next, it is nearer.

There is a shape to it—too tall, too thin, bending in ways a body should not. The airlock is a narrow throat now, and you are lodged in it like a breath that cannot be drawn. The thing waits. Not charging, not lunging, but watching you with a patience so immense it feels ancient.

When the lights steady for half a heartbeat, you see the eyes—black and depthless, catching the pallid glow, not reflecting it but swallowing it whole. Then darkness again, save for the slow, wet cadence of breath, and the faint, serpentine sway of something behind it.

You understand then: the airlock has not trapped it with you. It has trapped you with him.
