Hell Hare House Short Reads
|
In a scorched world ruled by alien overlords, one boy's desperate love for his mother drives him to make the ultimate sacrifice—and become something monstrous to survive.
After the war, Earth is no longer ours.
The alien tiggers have claimed the land, the skies—and now, the bodies of our young.
In a bleak compound near the spaceport, humanity labors under the weight of chemical manipulation and physical transformation, repurposed to serve an alien agenda. Teenaged Jimmy is one of the smarter ones—engineered to handle cargo and keep the newborn tiggers alive. His sister, Sadie, altered beyond recognition, feeds the creatures around the clock. Their mother, broken by years of servitude, is slipping fast.
But Jimmy has a plan. A way to save her.
In a world where even compassion is punishable, love may be the most dangerous rebellion of all. Life at the Spaceport is a deeply disturbing, darkly satirical tale of alien colonization, body horror, and the unrelenting brutality of survival.
It's grotesque, unflinching—and utterly unforgettable.
