They were ugly. The most grotesque creatures I had ever seen. They had no specific body shape, no face, no head for that matter, it looked as if they just sprouted limbs wherever their bodies decided where to put them. It's not that they were gooey or slimy or anything, it just kind of shocked me to wake up, aboard this giant ship, with these mutant like creatures. I don't know what we could classify them as, I don't really care to be honest. I will call them Uglings. I wasn't tied up, which was weird, maybe they didn't see me as much of a threat, that told me I was no match for them. The only problem was, I only had my clothing on me, everything else had been taken. My flashlight, MP3 Player, and compass. I looked around quick for an escape, trying to form a plan in my mind before they realized I was up. I saw my belongings on a small stool about twenty feet away. I started to crawl towards it, and with just my luck - CREEEK - I went still. They seemed not to notice, which was a good thing, I didn't know what they wanted, or how they planned to get it, I needed to get out of there, and fast. I slipped under some mesh like net and reached my hand up onto the top of the the stool. Bingo. I found my things, grabbed them and went back into hiding. Then something stirred, a sound of alarm went off and immediately they realized I was missing. The Uglings scoured every inch of the ship deck. I stayed put. A few of them jumped over the side of the ship into the muck below, but I was nowhere to be found. The rest headed over except for three. I took my chance, I quick dove over the side hoping I would land somewhere soft...right into a heap of mud. I jumped up and ran off, oblivious to the direction.
