WHEN SHADOWS FALL
A Space Adventure
Excerpt One: The next day the young man came up into the ship true to his word stripped naked. Myra laughed when Russo came aboard, but she sobered when she saw his expression. Something or someone had scared him and he anxiously ran to get his clothes. He would never again laugh at anything which he encountered on that planet. Now when he came back in the room he said to her,“Cut it out,” for the love of God, cut it out!”Myra said she would and did, but she told him, you just keep expecting life to give you is a free ride and I hate you for it. I hate you for thinking that. No one gets a free ride, mister, nobody.”Excerpt Two: You sound like a pig, he said. Do you know that? Then he realized she had never heard of a pig. Oh come on, I don’t have all night. I hope your feet aren’t cold.She climbed into bed with him then and she hugged him tight. This wasn’t really so bad he thought as he felt the warmth of her body and the sweet smell of her breathe. Then he gasped as he felt the sharp thrust of a knife into his belly. He sighed or screamed. It was hard to tell with a soft hand over his mouth. He died that way, surprised and a little confused.Excerpt Three: This very last person it turned out was not a person at all. She had been inhabited and infested by a creature which had seduced others with its ways. One lone blood man went after Diana and was instructed to kill her.Excerpt Four: Space can be a desolate place. The gears, the mechanism of travel had been conquered years ago. But going through light years of space, and then going from galaxy to galaxy, it was still dangerous and exciting. Nothing should be more exciting than that and anybody looking for the carnal desire tryst was pretty much out of luck with experienced flyers like he was. She was experienced herself and he wondered why she even bothered with him. Then he thought of sabotage and thought he should tell someone.
