Aliens Who Want Our Women


It’s flirting with you
You don’t know?
See any others waving extrusions around?
How about now?
Blowing bubbles!
A big pre-mating ritual on this planet
Holy shit!
Removing its heart is unequivocal
It’s hefting it
Look out!

Take your shirt off
Their blood is highly toxic.

My my my
He’s leaving?
Well, uh
Guess you didn’t jiggle
I mean, respond, appropriately
Give you my shirt?
I guess that’s fair.

Hey, where you going?
No, I promise!
I didn’t pay him to help me
See your tits!
How could you even think that?
Come back…

She’ll be back.

Reread the first Amber pentalogy by Zelazny last week. Still a great pleasure, tho each time the dearth of important roles for women annoys me. A young woman would have to imagine herself as Corwin to really enjoy it.

Now I am reading Nevernight, by Jay Kristoff. Looks like a man's name, but viewpoint character is a woman. An assassin-in-training. omniscient narrator explains her peculiar world in footnotes. this approach is working so far. stay tuned
