Short Story Community Competition!

The first mission with the brand new engine has this expedition going where no mission has gone before.
Everything was smooth sailing until out of nowhere the ship stopped moving. Various efforts were put into the repairs,
but nothing seemed to be working. No other option but to send out a distress call to base.

Days go by without any news. The nerves went up as time went by. The captain got the idea to check the
intergalatic messaging service but found they were out of reach to receive new messages. He did find a message from Tim
from home base entitled : "Last minute instructions". This must have been sent not long after the launch. Curious, the
captain opens the mail. It is a video and plays automaticly after opening. There was some hope again to find a solution
to the situation. The video starts and there is a rythmic sound of electric drums and a strangly dressed
young man dancing and singing "we're not strangers to love, ...". At this point he was aware of the rolling of the rick
that has just happened and just like anyone who has had this happen to, he slowly shakes his head in anger.

Hope was lost again, and what was worse is the supplies were running low. Not much more time until the apples reserved
for the pets would have to be eaten in order to survive. But at last, luck has turned slightly. A big box was found and
much to his surprise, the captain found the box filled with beer. Seemed like with nothing better to do, he might aswell
turn a bad situation into a little party to release some tension. And it did not miss it's effect. The captain was now
laughing in tears with the video message watched earlier. He played it over and over. At this time Dave appeared and
asked to captain to stop drinking as he was obviously beyond drunk.

The captain replied in anger. "Maggghh, you, yeah i know you, you ... you just wanna meet them. You just want to get
abducted by the aliens. We all know the stories of the 'experiments', and you, turning his finger in the air and pointing
to Dave, ... you are dying to get experimented on, wahaha." Dave tried to reason with the captain to calm him down but
with the same song playing over and over, Dave was starting to lose his patience. More insults followed towards Dave.
"Yaaouu, how did you even get here, you got the skills and brains of a low leveled snake. I bet you couldn't even play
the match 3 game because it's too hard for you." Dave's eye started twitching but he decided to walk away. "Yeah, walk
away. That's all you're good at anyway" and the captian threw his can straight on Dave's head. Dave fell to the floor in
pain. He snapped, got up and punched the captain on his nose. A real stuggle followed until the captain found a knife.
Dave pleaded to the captain but he was blinded by anger and stabbed him in his belly. After that the captain passed out
in the captains seat.

A loud clicking sound was heared. A rescue shipped had docked with the expedition ship. The music still playing, the
main entry door was forced. The rescue team was horrified to see the captain in his seat passed out with an open can
of beer in one had and a knife in the other. A large gaping cut in his belly, the captain was quickly taken to the
medical room on the rescue ship.

No other passengers were found on the ship.
