story contest: welcome me in to your head! Sci-fi and fantasy stories please.

Ok people,
This is actually a story contest, but I don't have any points on story write so here goes.
Task
Write me either a short sci-fi or fantasy story, or the first chapter of a sci-fi or fantasy story. Make it as gripping as possible. If it's a first chapter, make me want to read on.
The rules of doom...
1. no sticky caps.
2. I don't really want a pawn story, or anything an innocent lickle fourteen year old wouldn't want to read!
3. These stories must be no more than 2000 words. I myself hate word limmits, but I don't want masses.
Final Notes
Please don't restrict yourselves to the genres fantasy and sci-fi, you can add other genres too.
I haven't allowed you to enter prewrites, simply because I didn't think you'd have anything suitable, as it's a poetry site. Also, from my experience, prewritten poems take ages to enter!
There are no points for second and third place, so there is no second and third place! I thought people would rise to the challenge if I was awarding 700 points instead of the standard 300. If I think your stories are good enough, I will put links to them on my author page and generally plug them! If I have enough points left by the time I've judged this contest, I will send them to you separately.
Please don't feel pressured by this contest! You are all great writers, and pressure is a horrible force to have on an imaginative mind!
I will comment all your stories on the day of judgment...
Have fun and good luck!

p.s. If anyone is still writing a story they are thinking of submitting, or they would like a bit longer, please let me know. I have only six entries, so I am willing to extend the deadline. Send me an IM if you want the deadline extended.
Have fun!

    Thank you all very much for entering my contest. It has been fun to do, and I really enjoyed reading all your entries. I decided to change my prizes, because the entries were so hard to judge! They were all fantastic. Those who didn't get first, second or third will recieve a well earned twenty points from me. I hope you all have fun writing in the future. love and best wishes, Meggh xxxxxxxxxxxx
