You ever have one of those days...

[jeriendhal]

...where you're chained up in a diamondoid bubble that's been dropped into a tank full of starving razorfins by a psychotic human pirate and your only hope of rescue is from an underdressed pirate vixen that you just mortally insulted?

No?

You lucky bastard.

-I Fought the Claw (and the Claw Won), first line.

Inspired by the Bubble Child that Naziha drew for me. Now I just need to write the rest of the story (and get her permission to use the image for the cover art.)

In other news, Shadow of the Red Vixen is just over 21k words now with the plot finally showing up.

Oh my. I'll be looking forward to seeing this.

I'm going to try to keep it short and fast, 25k or less. It's the first time I've ever tried to do anything lengthy that's in 1st person, which will hopefully keep the comedy up and the angst down.

I presume the opponent was blithely unaware that all shark tanks have enormous drains.

I think this one may have at least skimmed through the Evil Overlord manual. No hugemungus drains, and razorfins are piranha sized anyway. :)
