Trophy: Horror Shorts, #2

By Paul Le May

As the first humans to visit Alpha Centauri come to the end of their epic journey, they have to come to terms with both apocalyptic events on Earth and a senseless attack by an unidentified assailant. 

First Officer Claire Mathews finds herself hunted and brutally slaughtered. Now she has to make sense of why she is apparently alive and what the hidden purpose of the aliens might be.
