    Summary

    Techno slammed his fists against the transparent wall of his prison, trying his best to break it down. His captors backed up, whistling anxiously to each other.

    He gave the barrier another loud crack, delightedly watching as they scrambled away in abject terror.

    Nodding in satisfaction, he turned around to meet the eyes of two other prisoners that had been thrown into his cell.

    He froze.

    Right.

    There were now aliens in his cell.

    And he probably just scared the hell out of them.

     

    Or: Humans are a dangerous race feared by all on an intergalactic scale. Techno, a human ex-soldier that was abducted by aliens 18 months ago, is biding his time in captivity.

    This changes when two young aliens are sent into his cell to die.

    Summary

    Jon was not a stranger to death.
    He was an orphan raised by his elderly grandmother, he’d been to more funerals than he had weddings.
    Death… death was undiscerning. Objective. First you were alive, and then you were not.
    Simple.
    Humans were the ones who made it messy, with their mourning and their loud, heavy grief. Burials and ceremonies and calla lilies.

    Sometimes, Jon wished it was just a matter of putting a body in the dirt and being done with it.
    The last funeral he had been to was his grandmother’s. She was seventy nine. She died peacefully, in her sleep. And she would have hated that.

    Jon glanced down to the child sleeping beside him. Willa Briar. His first cousin, once removed.

    This was her mother’s funeral.

     

     

    Jon adopts the daughter of his late cousin. This is complicated by the simple truth that he has no idea how to be a parent.
