Doctor Grison woke to the sound of the overhead ceiling comm.
Attention all Nidi Station habitants. There has been a transporter accident at Corridor C Section 511, Intersection 12.
A video opened, showing Rister stepping into the transporter beam nanoseconds before the force shield went up. Rister, being blasted to the only destination he deserved – the hot molten center of Mira Tri Lucius. Grison shuddered at the sight despite his relief that Rister could torment him no more. Above him, the message droned on.
This area is closed until further notice. You will be notified when access is restored. As a reminder, please obey the station’s safety protocols. Watch for and avoid flashing red lines on the pedestrian walkways. Failure to do may result in personal injury, or even death.
The closing slogan for the station’s newscast sounded, then the whole thing repeated in language choice two. Grison reached up, clicked off the monitor, and flopped back on the bed. Sweat dotted his brow and under his clothes. Watching the video had made him sick to his stomach. Made him question the life he was leading. What his work really amounted to. For some reason, going back to his regular job seemed the wrong thing to do. Instead, he ought to stay here, on Nidi, and invent a new life for himself. If Rister can do it, so can I.
Sitting up in bed, he decided that today, he’d go to the bar for a nice cold ale.

Majorly cool review
Mrs. Giggles gave it a score of 82 and said:
For its price and length, Tentacles is worth the money, if you ask me. It gives me what I’m looking for: a good time with a pleasant diversion, so what’s not to like? The authors couldn’t do a better job if they had a bunch of Disney squids happily serenading me with Pete Townshend’s Let My Love Open The Door. Love the tentacles, people, they really aren’t that bad.
