The moment he stepped into the apartment, shit broke loose. The thing that went out of Tom's rectum a few moments before jumped at his neighbor's neck and started chewing at his carotid. The thing was nothing like a tapeworm; it was a fully developed alien baby, about 70cm long with an elongated head slender body covered in a black slippery exoskeleton. The neighbor barely opened his mouth, and 3 seconds later, he was lying on the floor gasping for air, dying in terror.

Tom heard the screams from the bedroom, he couldn't believe it. He crawled out of bed into the hallway and saw the gore scene of the alien eating at his neighbor's body. Cold sweat and shivers brought him back to senses. A rush of adrenaline kicked in, he got up on his feet. For a moment, he thought to jump out the window. He hesitates, the chances to escape alive jumping from the 4th floor were thin. But what were his options now; the next moment he heard that same hiss in his ear, turned around, and saw the creature hanging from the ceiling, legs with sharp claws, salivating mouth, arrays of teeth sharp as razor blades. He said a prayer in his head, backing off near the window. He walked over an aluminum baseball bat, grabbed it and started swaying it in the air. Stay there, stay there!!! he was shouting while shaking nervously. The alien was now approaching him and stopped right in front of him and fixed him. The hissing stopped and now he was making a sound resembling a high-frequency vibration. Tom perceived that less threatening, so he put the bat down and approached the creature. What do you want, he asked?
