A loud roar jarred them awake. They scrambled out of their bedding and rushed out of the dugout into late evening light. The rain clouds had cleared off and there was still a band of orange low on the horizon.

“Oh, we are in so much trouble,” Gema said. “They sent the transport for us. They’re going to throw us back into prison for destroying the swarm.”
Kellac’s attention was focused on the craft. He turned to her, eyes wide. “It’s not the transport.”
They destroyed the cameras? Tsk Tsk.
ReplyDeleteUh oh! Sounds like trouble...great snippet!
ReplyDeleteNothing like going from the frying pan to the fire. What a great snippet!
ReplyDeleteThe swarm is gone, but somebody still found them? They must have a tracker on them somewhere. Time to start checking equipment!
ReplyDeleteAh, but is that good or bad? (And are the capthas becoming vision tests?)
ReplyDeleteOh no! Not the transport! I don't wanna know what it is. Okay, I do want to know... :)
ReplyDeleteWow, great premise and awesome snippet. Love the idea of the swarm.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I wonder who it is, then! :D
ReplyDeleteI agree the captchas are vision tests--but they make good alien names.
ReplyDeleteYes, game over.
