Welcome
to another Saturday of Science Fiction & Fantasy and read snippets
exchanged by several writers. http://scififansat.blogspot.com/
I
switched stories to give you a Halloween snippet from Grand Master’s Game and
some viewers asked how she got rid of the slime. Last week’s snippet is here http://auroraspringer.blogspot.com/2015/10/halloween-snippet-for-sffsat-from-grand.html
ending in “Where
were you?” she demanded angrily.
“Distracted, my brave little
pawn. There are scrawls like writing on the opposite side of the domes.”
She leaned against his firm
chest, breathing in the spicy psi emissions. “I was trapped in the mouth of an
enormous worm.”
“I see the damage you caused.” Looking
down, she saw sinuous streaks in the desert floor left by the agonized writhing
of the monster. Its body had vanished under the sands.
Athanor remarked casually,
“Your shiny coating of slime does not appeal to me. The odor is
repugnant.”
Her irritation soothed by his
embrace, Violet’s response was mild, “Could be worse. I could have slipped down
its gullet. Dunk me in the river!”
“I’ll do better.” Blue psi
misted over her body and the slime vanished.
She voiced her approval of his
technique, “Flashy cleanser.”
Grand Master’s Pawn is

Your comments are
welcome as always.
Athanar likes showing off! I like the phrase "spicy psi emissions" - all sorts of mental images are generated by that phrase!
ReplyDeleteNaturally. He is a Grand Master.
Delete“Your shiny coating of slime does not appeal to me." LOL!
ReplyDeleteThis couple enjoys jokes.
DeleteI wish I could get that clean with just someone using energy...would save a lot of time and money. :)
ReplyDeleteOf course, although it does take psi energy which is not infinite. He has to rest after major psi expenditures.
DeleteA psi shower! Love it! :D I also love that the work they do leaves behind signatures, such as pain if they hurt something. I bet that comes in handy.
ReplyDeleteOur psychics have slightly different rules, but there are penalties.
