The Forgotten Planet
by Murray Leinster
Beneath the thick gray clouds, where not a single sun was shining, lay a forgotten planet. It was a nightmarish world of grotesque and terrifying animal and plant life. Giant beetles, spiders, beetles and ants filled the stinky, moldy soil, ready to kill and devour everything in sight. Among these horrors were men crying and fleeing from crow monsters and gathering in mushroom forests at night. Berle was one of these creatures. But one day, inspiration struck Burl. He found a gun - he resisted. And with this idea, the first step was taken on man's most desperate flight for freedom in the most terrible of all the worlds. But that was only the first step.
