Halloween Two Sentence Horror Competition

CMDR Unicorn Jim was so proud of the homemade Thargoid ship-kit; he knew it would make his friends laugh when they met up for trick-or-treating around the bubble that Halloween night. Unicorn Jim's friends are probably still wondering what happened to him...
 
I sighed in relief after leaving Thargoid space, ate a snack, and settled down for a well deserved rest. Thump Thump... Thump Thump, I can't sleep from the thumping I shouldn't be able to hear through my anti-corrosive shielded cargo hold.
 
Even without fuel or energy, and dimmed by resistant walls, the powerful signal will attract ships in hundred of lightyears around him.
The Xenoresearcher enabled his emergency beacon, calling any human ship in the system, and unable to shutdown the thargoid probe in his cargo rack.
 
I remember the stories about Thargoids... ones I'd been told as a naughty child, to temper bad behaviour...of terrifying aliens from myth and legends.

Myths and legends, I thought as I stood on the bridge of my ship, that don't suddenly break from hyperspace to appear directly in front of you...

Visiting the Matrixs after Update 17 landing on a leaf pad and mission a petal step falling to the ground. A long ways to the ground while Revs are shooting at you. I survive is 1% health and hide until a commander came and pick me up. So terrifying to know one bump one shot and I would die with so much Bios data on me.
 
In the embrace of a deep slumber, he danced with stars, caressed by the silken threads of the universe, lost in a passionate waltz with celestial bodies. But as his eyes fluttered open, the dream shattered, revealing the cold, metallic confines of a titan vessel, where he was nothing more than a fragile captive at the mercy of inscrutable Thargoid captors.
