A Story, Bit by Bit
Hellbender: Part 21 - Ants * * * * Vera stared at the rubble of her research building and the workers scurrying about it like ants after the destruction of an anthill. "That must have been fun." Dumalt appeared as a large man with short dark hair and darker eyes that easily reduced to a quivering mass any fool that met them. He wore the uniform of a general, but he never appeared very interested in leading people. Vera turned to him. "They stole my research and blew up my research building. I am not in a good mood." "And what can we do about it?" "They're mercenaries, Dumalt." He smiled broadly. "So the treaties don't apply?" Vera never got as much enjoyment out of inflicting physical harm on people as Dumalt did, but she couldn't help but smile a bit at the thought of the fate that awaited those who crossed her. "No, they don't. It's open season on these humans." "Excellent. I hate those damn treaties; we can't kill each other's humans, and, if I kill too many of ours, I get yelled at. I feel almost as restricted as before the Great War." "Do we know where they are?" "Yes, their vehicle was spotted landing in the wastelands. I'll tell our troops to hang back and leave them to me." "To us." Vera's expression turned more serious. "One of them knew who we are." "What? Are you sure?" "He called me one of 'The Fallen' and didn't appear at all surprised when their weapons failed to harm me." Dumalt's smile faded. This was no longer just an opportunity to have some fun tearing some humans limb from limb. "Should we tell Asmod?" "Let's find out exactly what they know first." Dumalt frowned. "I'm not very good at reading men's minds." Vera laughed. "It's simple; just hurt them until they tell us what they know." Dumalt smiled again. "And then?" "And then, my friend, you do whatever else to them pleases you." TO BE CONTINUED... ![]() Help Save Science Fiction at Jim Baen's Universe! (NOTE: Frank J.'s hastily hacked together stories are in no way supported or condoned by Baen) You'd better continue this. Otherwise I'ma hunt you down. FIRST. #1 - Posted by: Frogwarrior on July 27, 2006 03:49 PMWhat is that "maybe"? You should post two parts a day and make them longer. #2 - Posted by: Craig on July 27, 2006 04:13 PMWhat do you mean "Maybe"? are you looking for reaction from the fans to see if we want more? Well, we do. we want the whole thing. hehehe. but not in a gay way. #3 - Posted by: AlaskaNick on July 27, 2006 04:15 PMFirst off, let me say that i'll help Frogwarrior hunt you down, im too addicted to this. Second, this was waay too short, i dont care if they're posted once a week, just make it juicy. #4 - Posted by: whitetip on July 27, 2006 05:07 PMditto to all the above. Yeah, there is no 'maybe' about this series. I'm hooked. Keep up the good work. #6 - Posted by: Ben on July 27, 2006 05:31 PMWow "MAYBE..." You WILL continue the story, or else face the wrath of the 'stache! #8 - Posted by: John Bolton on July 27, 2006 05:53 PMif you're so conserned about getting our money you shouldn't toy with our emotions. that's not a good way to get money. #9 - Posted by: Garrett on July 27, 2006 06:21 PMThere will be more Hellbender. Guy's, I think we need a "nuclear option" if he doesn't continue it. Like, funding Hillary '08. 'Sept that's more a "doomsday option." #11 - Posted by: Frogwarrior on July 27, 2006 09:49 PMThere is no maybe. I was a big fan of Super Ego too, so you must realize your work is appreciated. It may be rough around the edges, but I mean, where else can I go to get cool futuristic sci-fi for free? Huh? Can you answer that? Now no more of this maybe business. Oh, and though I don't visit your sponsors (I hate sponsors), tell them I said you have a really cool website and that they should give you more money. #12 - Posted by: Kylos on July 27, 2006 11:27 PMMAYBE is for cowards, quitters, and the French. Don't be French, Frank J! #13 - Posted by: SilverBubble on July 28, 2006 12:24 AMPost a comment
