“This planet sucks,” I told the 4-eyed being who’d rescued me 10 years before.
Being in love with a creature that bites off the end of its tail, swallows it (eggs and all) and becomes food for its own young can be challenging.
“You’re a fine pet,” It replied.
Yes. It reads minds. When its snake-like body wraps around me, I feel so much love.
“Why am I on Earth…again?”
“Him.”
“I’m happy with you.”
My mind smiled with its joy. It gathered sperm from the “him,” so that when its children were born they would have pets, too.
Ewe, scary Mary , that’s a nightmare 😏💜💜

Wow! That’s a classic with a sci-fi twist. A great and disturbing piece of writing, Joelle.

I enjoy finding those disturbing twists and turns opening a doorway to other possibilities.

Very bizarre twists, Joelle, and written beautifully, slithering into our minds and taking root – talking to us and making us want pets. Pets, and more pets until the house and yard are filled with cats and dogs, raccoons and skunks all eating out of the same bowls on the back and front porch.

I’m sure there are people who have cats, dogs, raccoons and skunks all eating out of the same trough. That would certainly keep burglars away.

Our neighbors did not have burglars, for sure, and not many snakes, squirrels or gophers. They had/have about 50+ cats plus the other “friends” 🙂
