The Mating Games

“Five…” I wake up in a glass pod. I’ve been abducted. “Four…” I’m surrounded by alien beasts, all desperate to mate me. “Three...” I fight to escape but the glass is unbreakable. “Two…” One of the alien beasts is calm, thoughtful, nothing like the others… “One...” I whimper a prayer and hope someone somewhere will protect me. “Launch.” The Mating Games have begun. And I am the victor's prize.
