The Evil Lesbians |
|
| . When they stopped running all of them began to cry, and they hugged and kissed each other for a long, long time. Because they were so sad. After they had stopped crying, they all had something to eat, and then the Captain said "I've lost a lot of confidence in these blaster rays." And they all threw their blaster rays away. "Take out your death rays," said the Captain. So the rest of the time they were in the forest all the lesbians carried death rays in their hands, in case the wolves came back. After a time, they came to the city and it was called the city of New Jersey and they all hid themselves until dark Part Three: Screams of the Damned The city was a wreck. Smashed and gutted cars littered the streets, creating metal mazes through which scurried the devolved citizens of the city, survivors of some nameless horror. Fires burned, the smoke carrying the reek of destruction to the lesbians looking down on the city. "This is not a pretty place," said Ajax. "Let's go," said the Captain. And so the lesbians entered the city, and the buildings looked like skeletons of metal and stone, and there was silence. "Spooky," said Zilla. "Spooky," Marty agreed. They noticed an ugly old woman huddled in a doorway, her face pinched and dirty. "Hello, woman of the city," said the Captain. "Tell us, have you seen our sisters? The ones like us?" The woman shuddered. "They do unspeakable things," she whispered. "Then don't speak of them," said Ajax sensibly. "Just tell us where they are." "There," she pointed with a thin claw-like finger. "Thanks!" said Ajax, and the lesbians headed in the direction indicated by the hideous crone. This is what they saw: A huge bonfire had been built, and around it the evil lesbians had placed little tables, and at the little tables sat the wretched males of the city. And the evil ones were serving them drinks, and rubbing their feet, and complimenting them on their scrawny musculature, and sashaying, and flipping their hair at them, and doing other things more evil still. Ajax screamed. It was a scream to chill the blood and freeze the marrow. "N-n-n-n-not possible," stuttered the Captain. "Such evil…" Zilla screamed and Marty screamed and soon they were all screaming and slapping each others faces. Then the hugging started, and they hugged each other with tight, tight hugs. For comfort. Because of the horror. "Should we shoot them with death rays, Captain?" said Ajax. "Yes, do it now!" shouted the Captain. So all the pretty lesbians took out their death rays and shot the evil lesbians, and the evil lesbians screamed and fell down because the death rays were killing them, and the walls of the city echoed with the screams of the Damned. Then they lost their hidden forms, and were revealed as huge purple, three-breasted octopi, and the males shrank from them and ran in disgust, but some were impaled on the horns growing from the breasts of the evil ones and were slain. And the evil lesbians all died in agony. "We must leave this planet" said the Captain, "or evil will destroy us too." And all the lesbians agreed. So they made a pile of the bodies and burned them, and they returned to the ship and to the cold embrace of space, and they never forgot the horrible fate of their sisters on that forgotten world, though they shudder to think of it, and clutch each other fiercely. To soothe the pain. © 2003 by Craig Snyder Visit the Heads from Space! Websites: http://headsfromspace0.tripod.com/ http://www.geocities.com/headsfromspace/ . |
