Synopsis

When the Standing Ones sent us on a journey to explore the darkness far from the sun’s light, I never expected to find monsters there.
Like something out of the scary tales my son so loved, they captured us while I slumbered.
I woke with my crew, locked away in a cold thundercloud colored cage.
The others looked to me for escape but all my plans had ended in failure and pain, so much pain.
At the same time, the monsters began to take them away one by one.
Pushing past those failures and the pain, I plotted my escape, I was born problem solver after all.
I needed to warn my people of what awaited us among the stars and to see my boy again.
To do so, I’d have to discover more about these monsters and their ways, revolting as that seemed.

The crew of an exploratory space ship is captured by aliens, the Minster s of the title. Kept together, mostly in darkness, in a cell, wi......more

Monsters in space... but ARE they?? Excellent short story with a very unexpected viewpoint! Who is this main character? Who are the Monsters? You do find out who the Monsters are, but not the main character. It's very interesting and a fun read.......more
