[Carrie] Beso del SolfikgirlOctober 14 2006, 18:19:51 UTC
Something was wrong with Chloe. Something beyond the blatantly obvious. As far as Carrie knew, the girl - correction, elderly woman - had been out, in a bikini, soaking up the sun for hours. Since sunrise if the reports were to be believed

In Ringworld Engineers Louis Wu had become a wirehead. A wire had been inserted into the pleasure center of his brain and a slight electrical current provided him with cheap, never-ending bliss. His alien friend Chmee said he looked like a plant, swaying gently in the middle of the floor, oblivious to his surroundings.

"She's not going to hurt you again."
Culsu started and turned to see Walt standing nearby. He was trying unsuccessfully to get the stick away from Vincent, who was taking the opportunity to play tug-of-war. "What?"
"It's only temporary," Walt said in his matter of fact manner. "She's getting ready," Walt said, as if it should be obvious. "She has to replace what the wraiths stole."
Vincent surrendered the stick.
"Do you know what you're talking about?" Culsu asked. Walt's oracular
