Chapter 2 - ACT Part 2 ~CortezHorse Dec 25, 2011 Alma listened to him explain that he was just a natural shot. The most simple answer he could give she supposed. He then continued, without any prompt from her, and answered the question that had truly been gnawing at her. It was as if he'd read her mind and she had to partially agree with his explaination. She supposed she didn't truly hate the aliens either. They were just a lot of work to keep in line but it wasn't that different from prisoners she'd kept watch over in the past. Well, that was if you could see past the fact that the aliens looked like the horrible love child between a sh

CHAPTER 2  - ACT Part 1 ~NaviTransformerFan Dec 21, 2011 (partially for CortezHorse) Kelly had turned around when the human, the MNU guard began to speak, and her large form had tensed up noticeably when a gun had been aimed at Ian. She wasted no time in moving in front of her adoptive son, so that should the human fire, she would be the one to take the shot. A few strange, cough-like sounds came out of her throat, before her deep voice sounded again. Albeit instead of the deep, blubbery alien language, actual English words were heard. "It zeemz zat all ov jou guardz hav a tendenzy to zolve matterz vitz violenze." The words wer

Something always smells in the district. Litter and rotting pieces of pig carcass thrown about are the obvious reason. Something always smells not necessarily in the literal sense too. There's the occasional neighborhood murder; a neighbor, there one day, suddenly gone the next, detained perhaps. But today something really reeks. The stench is revolting even to the poleepkwa, already stirring in their shacks, ready to face the challenge of a new day; most unready for the sight and smell of the carcass rotting away among a heap of trash, giving out a sort of chemical odor even the flies avoid. The fellow is but a chunk of blackened meat, gro

Chapter 15 - A change is gonna come Mohlakeng was a small, quiet town west of Johannesburg city and precisely what they needed to go about unnoticed. Syrup's uncles' house was in a suburb in the outskirts and it had a garage with enough capacity for two cars, so that no one would even see them get out of the vehicles to get in the house. Syrup seemed to be really enjoying herself as she went out first and shushed loudly at the rest, heading for the door at the bottom of the garage that led to the house. It was dark and Ana could only hear her step away, tripping on a few metallic things. A thin line of pale light split the wall when Syrup o

Chapter 2 - You know what they do to guys like us in prison? After three weeks, she was already feeling sorry that she ever came to study in this city, although not at all for having dumped Keith. She actually wondered why she hadn't done it before. Sure, she missed some of the affection and, well, the other stuff, but clearly it had never been worth it. Besides, she had other things on her mind now. She never called Rineke. She had thought about it. He was handsome. He seemed intelligent. Maybe he liked her. But then she always remembered the kind of company he kept and gave up dreaming. College was as pointless as ever. She didn't even li

Chapter 3 – There's a prawn on my couch - Part 1 The door swung open and Ana poked her head inside the dark and listened for signs that there was someone home. The place seemed deserted. It was much too early for Syrup to be home yet. "Ok, come on" she helped the prawn pass through the narrow doorway, which still didn't prevent him from hitting his injured leg against the frame. "Oh, jeez" she said, picking up a panty from the floor. "Sorry for the mess. My roommate's a pi… Wait, what am I saying? You're a prawn!" She threw the panty back on the ground and resumed carrying her guest. By the time they had crossed the tiny sitting
