ECLIPSE
“Fetch
another virgin now!” the Chief screamed, “The Sun is dying!”
The medicine
man cowered. “But Chief – we’ve sacrificed all the virgins.”
“Get Daxo’s neice.”
“The gods
will be insulted – she’s too ugly.”
“That’s why
I’m sure nobody’s screwed her.”
The fire
that burned Daxo’s neice had been his fault - she was still a virgin because no
man saw past the scars.
“Hide, Petl – they will sacrifice you,” he urged.
“Hide, Petl – they will sacrifice you,” he urged.
“They won’t
if I’m not a virgin, Tio.”
“Who?” Daxo
gasped.
“You, Tio –
quickly!”
Despite
himself, Daxo succumbed, and the medicine man arrived just as Daxo saved Petl - and the sun - the only way he could.

This week's story is condensed from another I wrote last year, with apologies for my lack of fresh inspiration. We have just been offered a Trust cottage and will be moving within a month - so much to do, so little time, but we're thrilled.
Meanwhile, a quick plug for my latest book HELTER-SKELTER - just the job for a holiday read so be sure to get your copy, paperback or ebook, before you pack your suitcase. Link to the Amazon page at the top of my blog.
