I am going to put up one or two of my favourites that ive written mostly sci-fi horror ones but I am just curious if any one else enjoys them?

I feel a bit sorry that I killed her off so fast; she is an interesting character. Falling in love is not at all the most stupid thing that people do — but gravitation cannot be held responsible for it.

Nitpicking: Could use some spacing. A few sentences don't run as smoothing as they could if you put in words such as: and, + synonyms etc. etc. E.g. It was stationed just in front of our only escape, (here it seems awkward) it was strange it almost seemed like it was staring at us, eyeing us up like a wolf gauging it’s prey. Natalie's character seems almost... unlikely (i.e. throwing herself at the goo) Otherwise so far not too shabby.
