Changes

by Cindy Sprigg

In the depths of space, an old civilization is destroyed. The only trace remaining, a cloud of microscopic spores dispatched on the cosmic winds.

In time, some of these spores find their way to planetary surfaces, and if the conditions are right, they grow, taking over all in their path.

About the author

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HHPfi...



I am an author of many things. I write what my mind forces me to, which does not follow any particular genre. This could be a science fiction, a fantasy, horror, mystery,Gothic romance or just straight fiction. My writing can range from short story to novella to a full length novel. I mostly deal with an adult audience, but have been known to put out the odd kids book and a few verses of poetry along the way. I both write and illustrate. But I am best known for endings with a twist!

I am an avid collector of things of many cultures, African, Oriental, Native and many things of nature, such as stones, fossils, butterflies, starfish and shells.

Alien spores are changing Cathy's unborn child. I have only ever heard the term “roundheels” before from my mother. I think that is a 50's saying to describe a so-called “loose” woman. She wears roundheels so that if you tip her over she falls flat on her back. This is a creepy and clever little story. It begins with Cathy's disgrace and ends with an alien invasion. Short but satisfying.
