An Awakened Mother's Rage
Her children... She could hear them... They were crying. Their dying words were calling to her. Something was here. Something that didn't belong. Visions played through her mind. Her children were running from large, cylinder-shaped ships made of a material that was not of her bounty.

Introduction This is for Liam Storm's "Mother Nature" Challenge which you can find out about here. The music is "Flying Sorcery" by Al Stewart. It has nothing to do with the story but the title is perfect and it is a wonderful song.

Escapement
Lucy lulled between sleep and awake, thoughts blurred and scattered as sleep threatened to overcome her once more. An alarm blared, and swear words cascaded from her mouth; she slapped at the cruel bell near her headâsuccess. As she rolled over, she checked her watch, glared at the early numbers, and groaned. Lucy extracted herself from her blanket nest and began descending the long ladder. Lucyâs bunk was the twenty-second pod; the hatch at the bottom was already open as she made her way to her next goalâ breakfast.

Custodians of the Cradle
Jerichoâs Cradle isnât real. It exists on no map nor claimed by any kingdom. The town is impossible to find if searched for and doesnât appear in any place twice. Crazed lunatics swear up and down that theyâve seen it, even bringing the pies theyâve acquired, but when they lead eager onlookers to where they saw it, gone, vanished like a cloud of smoke. It is nowhere, yet everyone knows its name. I had no intention of finding the famed town â it found me.

The Gray Ones
The corn was tall and dense. You couldnât see very far as you peered through the crops. Each step through the maze made you feel smaller and smaller. As you were brought deeper through the large green stalks, your heart started to pound as the sun began to set. Unbeknownst to you, as you traveled through the maze, dusk had come faster than you had planned when youâd started the endeavor. You took a deep breath, pushed your concerned thoughts away, and went to locate the end of the maze before the darkness enveloped you.

Realizing our situation, I rush over to the lifeless bodies of the two guards, âSheâs obviously not here. We need to go. Help me get them inside.â
