Halloween Two Sentence Horror Competition

My sister jumps her ship as far and as fast as she can, running a race against time, while in the co-pilot seat, my hologram smiles and enjoys these last moments with her.

My cabin shattered at 3000 Ly of her, and even with a bunch hours of fuel and power, air was limited to a few minutes, a ghost of telepresence haunting her ship, even hours after my air supply ran out.

When he heard knocking on the canopy he had to remind himself that Jennefer was lost to the deep black. Only when darkness started to fill his vision did he realize, he is the one who knocks.
 
As the alarms sounded and the hull approached zero he stared at the escape pod, dare he?

Thoughts of other escape pods flashed through his mind, being harvested by Thargoids, one’s he had sold to S&R damaged and all the ones he had sold to that engineer in Colonia…
 
Out on the far edge of the Formidine Rift, she gazed back at the distant glow of the galaxy. The cold fear that crept through her was not from what she had left behind...but what she might return to.

What Bing creates (shocking!):

Here is a two sentence horror story in the Elite Dangerous universe:
I was so excited to finally land on an Earth-like world and explore its wonders. But as I stepped out of my ship, I saw a swarm of Thargoid interceptors descending from the sky.

And Bings picture:

Not bad. Not bad at all. Bing can land on earth likes and Bing does not know that Thargoids prefer Amonia Worlds. Or is this the inheren horror of the story?
 
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing. Doubting...Thinking I should probably have bought more fuel before venturing out...

Flora scanning thousands of light years from any kind of fauna. While preparing to move to the next planet, a shadow moves on my ship's hull outside the viewport...
 
It creaked underground, like laying slumber on an old wooden bed we took little notice. As it burst through, piercing the sky in horrifying grander, that careless slumber became our gaffe.
 
I'm....I'm really sorry....its the grub you see, the Pavonis ear grub.....it makes me do things I don't want to do.

Don't make this harder than it has to be, please.....keep still.....
 
My English is a little bad, I hope I make myself understood.

A horror story of real events.

It all began on a June day. I had planned to make preparations to obtain the engineer who requested an occupied escape capsule. I started by going to conflict zones like the navigation beacon. I managed to get 5 capsules at that site, but I didn't make much progress. So, I decided to go to a high-risk extraction site in Agarda. Upon entering the location, I realized something was wrong because I couldn't find any NPCs, and it was eerily quiet. After 10 minutes, I encountered the first NPC, a miner, so I ignored them. One minute later, as I distanced myself from the NPC, I noticed that there was no one on the radar. However, three peculiar ships appeared with a message that said, "Today we come to purge your sins." I was surprised by the message because it was the first time I had heard something like that from an enemy.

As I prepared to attack the three targets, I noticed that my weapons didn't inflict much damage, and suddenly the radar went crazy, showing multiple ships around me. This made me worried, so I decided to escape since I was clearly outmatched. Upon returning to the station, I asked my guildmates if they had experienced something similar, and they said they hadn't. The most likely explanation was an "error." I trusted their information and headed back to the location to confirm if it was indeed an error. When I entered, I saw both pirate and miner ships, which made me think that everything before was a glitch. However, I was mistaken because 20 minutes after hunting pirates, the place went empty again, and looking at the radar, I began to worry about experiencing the same situation as before.

On the radar, four ships appeared, but there was something strange about them. The previous three were "krait," but these were "fer-lan-ce." They initiated with their dialogue, "We are the riders of death, and we are here to purge your sins." I began to fight, but they disabled my shields and engines. So, I prepared to deploy my support pilot as bait to escape, but meters ahead, the three krait ships with skull decals reappeared and severely damaged my corvette. The map started glitching, and I saw it filling up with enemies, which caused me to worry as I didn't want to die. My nervousness and desire to survive overwhelmed me, preventing me from thinking clearly. I released one of the capsules I had in the hope it would deter them, and it worked to some extent, but some continued to attack me. I began charging my FSD (Frame Shift Drive), but the enemies called the "riders" had slowed down the charge. Every time I distanced myself, they got closer, uttering phrases like, "Today you'll meet your creator, and it won't be God." Reading this dialogue instilled fear in me, and my determination grew stronger. I managed to escape with only 7% of my life remaining, and I reached the station, never to attempt to enter that place again.

It's up to you to believe the story or not, but those enemies were tougher than the special forces of any faction.
Someone tell him it's only two sentences
