  In The Walls of Eryx by H. P. Lovecraft and Kenneth Sterling - Trapped. Alone. No Way Out. 
  Before I try to rest I will set down these notes in preparation for the report I must make. What I have found is so singular, and so contrary to all past experience and expectations, that it deserves a very careful description.  
  I reached the main landing on Venus March 18, terrestrial time; VI-9 of the planet’s calendar. Being put in the main group under Miller, I received my equip- ment—watch tuned to Venus’s slightly quicker rotation—and went through the usual mask drill. After two days I was pronounced fit for duty.  
  Leaving the Crystal Company’s post at Terra Nova around dawn, VI-12, I followed the southerly route which Anderson had mapped out from the air. The going was bad, for these jungles are always half impassable after a rain. It must be the moisture that gives the tangled vines and creepers that leathery toughness; a toughness so great that a knife has to work ten minutes on some of them. By noon it was dryer—the vegetation getting soft and rubbery so that the knife went through it easily, but even then I could not make much speed. These Carter oxygen masks are too heavy—just carrying one half wears an ordinary man out. A Dubois mask with sponge-reservoir instead of tubes would give just as good air at half the weight.  
  The crystal detector seemed to function well, pointing steadily in a direction verifying Anderson’s report. It is curious how that principle of affinity works, without any of the fakery of the old divining-rods back home. There must be a great deposit of crystals within a thousand miles, though I suppose those damnable man-lizards always watch and guard it. Possibly they think we are just as foolish for coming to Venus to hunt the stuff as we think they are for groveling in the mud whenever they see a piece of it, or for keeping the great mass on a pedestal in their temple.

  Zurk

  Zurk by Richard O. Lewis - Gentle Marene was next when the black space cruiser called for its youth-levy. If only Zurk would spark to life—Zurk, this huge, part-human war-machine of tubular steel muscles and blank, mechanical mind. 
  There was both agony and defeat etched deeply into Guyard's lean face as he stood there in the center of the hidden, attic laboratory. His fists were clinched tightly at his sides and his hollow eyes were staring tensely and with supplication at the steel monstrosity before him. 
  "Zurk, you must save her!" he pleaded. "You must save Marene!" 
  Zurk, the man of steel, made no move. He sat there expressionless, his electric-cell eyes staring out through the small window at the far end of the laboratory. 
  Year after year, the steel giant had sat there staring through that window, staring out into dim, perpetual daylight that always enveloped that half of the moon which kept its face constantly toward Jupiter. 
  Week after week and month after month, Guyard had stood before the giant, had stood there hurling thought-waves into the brain, but to no avail. Something was wrong somewhere within the intricate mechanism, some trouble he could not locate. 
  Nervous and shaken, he stood there glaring into the expressionless eyes. There were but a scant two weeks left. Then the evil creatures from the Land of Darkness on the other side of the moon would come to claim Marene. 
  Desperation gave power to Guyard's tired brain. "Zurk!" His eyes blazed into the giant's with a final effort. "Move your head!" 
  For a brief instant, Guyard was certain that a feeble thought-wave had tried to penetrate his own brain; he thought he caught a faint glow in the eyes. 
  Then he wheeled quickly at the sound of a step upon the ladder up to the trap-door in the floor. His hand flashed to the gun at his belt, and he waited tensely.

  A Cruise into the Unknown: You step onto the theater deck of the Norwegian Spirit, the luxurious cruise ship, the lights flickering in rhythm with the music, the scent of sea salt lingering in the air. Then I see her – and you see her with me. A dancer whose every movement tells a story. Her presence is a promise, her silhouette a temptation. Night after night, she appears with different men, yet in her eyes, a secret lingers—an enigma that slips through your fingers, an echo of a truth that only reveals itself in the dark.  
  The Lingering Echo of the Past: Years later, I sit in a nail salon in Cologne—my hands resting in practiced, delicate touches as a file glides over my fingernails. But with every stroke, every faint whisper of perfume, I am pulled back to that cruise ship, back to her. And you are with me, feeling it all as I do. Was it just a dream? Or a reality hidden beneath the surface?  
  A Story That Pulls You In: I am Sanny4Me, and I invite you to step into a world where reality and fantasy blur. I share with you what happened—and what might have happened. Let yourself go, immerse yourself in this intoxicating game of sensuality, mystery, and desire. Will We Ever See the Dancer Again?  
  A story that lingers in your dreams. What is reality—and what are you willing to believe?  
  Sensual, escalating passion that pulls you deeper with every chapter.
