A boy and girl held hands in the dark theater as they watched a #movie about creepy aliens.

We're always portrayed as dumb, slimy monsters with razor teeth, the boy said after.
Yeah, the girl said, picking at a bit of human gristle stuck between her teeth.#vss365 #scifansat
Bombs exploded from the #movie, but it was the blood on my shirt, that’d startled me.

I hadn’t heard, my #stalker #creep inside.
& now as I float around, I’ve learnt it was my Gfriend who’d let her lover inside; with a silver bullet. #vss365#scifansat#vssmurder#satsplat
The field was filled with round green fruits. Vines crept and curled around them. Every leaf hid a yellow flower. Every yellow flower was a shelter for a sleeping bee. #SciFanSat #creep

Reanimated dead fling themselves in a frenzy, but the eight-foot brute rends them dead again… Limb from literal limb.

The creature’s dun-white eyes sees Herbert West’s creeping panic. “Your work is a poor imitation of my creator’s, Doctor. As are you.”#SciFanSat #SlapDashSat
He took her to a #movie:"#Creep 2". She watched the villain #stalk his victims,and cuddled closer…

The lights dropped,the screen went off,and an ice cold hand gripped her ankle in the dark.
Opening her mouth to scream,the blade pierced her brain.#SciFanSat #vss365 #vssmurder
Walking home after the #Vitaloom #movie Sam's fingers carress my neck. His calloused fingertips #creep down my shoulder giving me pleasant shivers.

Ann told me not to #stalk him, he'd never go for me, but wearing her face makes all the difference.#vss365 #SciFanSat #vssmurder pic.twitter.com/YmAbD5i87Y
I know how this #movie ends

I've seen it played out before
Uncertainty #creeps
Filling the spaces between
Fear & bravado
Trading influence
For barbs &
Sharp- tongued
Damage, but
We keep playing
This losing game
For our cruelty
Draws a crowd#vss365 #SciFanSat #SalemVerse
What a silly #movie. She’d nearly dozed off when she saw a face at the edge of the screen—pits for eyes, mouth like an O. She pointed but her friends saw nothing, even as the thing crept like oil along the bottom. She never got to finish her scream.#SciFanSat #vss365

Eeri blew the foul wind.
Humans called him the Devil, the anti-God of their faiths. But they knew nothing of the celestial power struggle: the bad against the worse. The good they worshipped was none other than the perfect #creep in the grand design.#scifansat #slapdashsat
It was—in part—a creeping fog that robs victims' fright. Uncle warned that the worst occupational hazard around here is a stalking hag that hides in such. She'd followed him home when he was a boy. It's been over 40 years and he swears her breath lingers on his neck. #SciFanSat pic.twitter.com/tYeunHYc5f

Reality can be astounding too
As it gifts breaths in letting go
Breakers #creep into
sundown sleep
No color from the screen of #movie
but splotches with foils and downs
And we become
forgotten in these irreplaceable elements#Poetry #SciFanSat #vss365
I always felt the moonstorms called to us as they crept above the deep, snuffing out the light and casting filters across our eyes. The air would be #movie-like—charged with fierce possibilities—before they hit. Like spoilt film starlets, we'd pose and cry.#scifansat#vss365

Space pirates, #creeps & general lowlifes know about this place. Rather unimaginatively called The #Movie Theatre, beyond Cygnus A, it plays alien adult films, has a gambling den attached & hosts the famous strip shows of the four-headed seductresses of Maffei.#SciFanSat #vss365

After the shuttle lands, Jax comes running down the boarding ramp. Veins stand out on his forehead.

“Lin sold us out!” he shouts. His voice echoes in the hangar. “The creep ratted!”
“Quiet,” I say, leading him behind a stack of crates and drawing my blade.#satsplat #scifansat
He rolled up his sleeve and checked again. The rash, starting up at his shoulder, had crept past his elbow. He wouldn't be able to hide it for much longer.

It was something toxic in this Earth air. But he had to survive long enough for the mothership to make contact.#scifansat

Tentacles creep along his forehead, into his nose & mouth. Now he is connected to her & to the hive. He can hear their thoughts. They want to know the location of his crash site. He thinks of other things, to protect his crew. pic.twitter.com/IsMGKvDvA1
What a #creep! He #stalked her all through the day. She noticed him at the store,then in the subway. At the #movie theatre he was sitting so close. "What do you need?" "Evie, it's our anniversary. I wish your memory returned",he wiped the tears away. #vssmurder #vss365 #SciFanSat

I am continually awed by the talent and creativity of the authors that grace SciFanSat with their voices. Above are highlighted microfiction tweets that I feel exemplify that talent, all compiled from our 10.17.2020 “Creep” prompt and event.
All tweets, art, and rights belong to their respective creators. No ownership or responsibility on my part is inferred by this post, just my admiration.
