She
held his hand tight against her tear-sodden cheek. He was no longer able to give her comfort. The joy he brought to her had been magical. In those final days, hours, minutes she
watched the sparkle in his eyes, those eyes that completely captured her heart the
moment she first saw them, slowly begin to fade before they closed for the last
time.
Convulsions
heaved in and out of her chest as she struggled to understand why. “Why him, Lord? Why not me?
I begged you and you left me here!

This wound would eventually heal, as much as it could, and her path would lead her to help others in the same situation.

These tracks, the ones in the shadows, are those of the Minotaur. And, unless I’m wrong, we need to get back to the shuttle and get the hells off this planet before they come back!”
“Well, you don’t have to tell me twice!”
Back in the shuttle Luna leans over to pour a long swig of her favorite adult beverage and asks, “What exactly is a Minotaur?”
I just laughed…
