Challenge #04496-L112: Little Friends

The large galactic laughed when the human told them about an eagle that was their best friend. A bird? A fluffy thing with no brains?

Horg was always amused by Humans and their pets. The dinky little Deathworlders had a knack for taming just about anything that could injure or eat them or both. So very many of them were so tiny and cute, just like the Humans. A very few were -at least to Horg- appreciatively large. Horg smiled in anticipatory appreciation, not caring that their fangs would show.

Those wonderful Parental Moments that begin with the "Ah! Um! Mum! Dad!" -- Anon Guest

"I... can probably explain."

"I have all day," said Lyr Marken, Security Sub-Chief for the Elemeno JOAT quarter. "And let me remind you that I am a level six precog and I foresaw this, so. Let me just give you some time to think up a plausible lie."

Challenge #01114-C017: Monologue of a Vampire

"...In truth, I'm no more a little girl than you are. I was once, of course. Three hundred years ago. Vampirism tends to keep one remarkably... fresh. It's been quite a boon looking like a child. No one ever suspects a thing." -- Anon Guest
