Aekyra was running for her life: her pulse racing; her legs burning; she couldn't stop. She could never stop. The monsters would catch her if she stopped. The monsters would tear her apart. One had already pinned her to the ground and tore her pants with his claws. He had loomed over her while she tried to squirm away from his dripping cock. She felt his hot breath on her neck, scenting her. He flipped her on her belly, holding her down with a knee in her back. And then he slowly and deliberately sliced her pants into ribbons. He shoved his nose and maw into the crevice of her pussy and ass. He dug those sharp claws into the flesh of her hips drawing a little blood. His tongue was so big it wetted her entire vulva, crease, and anus in one lick. She tried to fight him but she was pinned. He had her. And she wouldn't escape him. He would fuck her into the dirt until one of them collapsed. She wouldn't reach the end of the race. Wouldn't win a prize. Wouldn't escape the beast.
Two weeks prior:
The announcement had been made less than an hour ago. Aekyra heard it from a friend of a friend. She was working her third shift of the day. She was exhausted. But she had to keep going for another 4 hours. She needed every credit she could earn at the asteroid diner.
Living in a futuristic, space faring age full of sentient robots, faster than light travel, and replicators that produced any food imaginable was supposed to be utopia. It wasn't supposed to be an endless struggle for survival, a pair of discount shoes three sizes too big that rubbed her feet raw, and wondering where she would sleep that night.
