An Antarctic expedition Epilogue

Radios were down and the expedition hadn't signed since the message that they had found the site... It was decided to send a plane there to find out if there was a problem...

The location was accurate and the rescue plane soon found the expedition camp.

The camp looked deserted...

So the crew checked it out...

There was no sign of any of the men or the dogs. But it looked like a lot of something like blood around together with patches of translucent slime and strange marks in the snow...

A clear trail of what looked like blood led towards the opening in the ice wall. It was as if a bloody something had been dragged there... two of the rescue party headed towards the opening to investigate...

  2. Enjoyable scenario!
    Several excellent scientist / infected logging camp / volcano base / arctic base / deserted ship type scenarios in the X Files (now reshowing on Disney+) - basically you are safe if you don't drill down further than ever before or chop down ancient forest trees to release the hidden evil. Etc. Etc. Book set bingeing on Disney + over My misspent winter / spring as mentioned

    1. You are never safe. Once you start believing you are your doom is assured...

  3. As Eddie Izzard mentions in his Transylvanian 'Forest of Death and Blood' sketch, if only they had listened to the music ...
