Andimem stirred from the fitful sleep he’d managed to fall into. He sat up and immediately regretted it. His neck sent shooting pain all up and down his spine. Apparently, he wasn’t quite used to sleeping on a hard plastic floor with only a pile of cloth to cushion himself with. A tremor rumbled through …

Chapter 12 Room for Debate Titan: Stray by Johnny Scribe
For some reason that she couldn’t quite explain, Essni found her mood considerably lightened as she walked into work. She found it surprising how much the decision to take Andimem home with her had cheered her up. He was just going to be her pet, after all. It would certainly be nice not to have …
Chapter 11: Liberty or Safety Titan: Stray by Johnny Scribe
With an exaggerated sigh, Essni folded the screen of her workstation computer into her desktop and leaned back in her desk chair. “Finally done for the day.!” She turned towards the far end of her desk where a number of her scavengers were sorting through the day’s finds for her. From the center of the …
Chapter 10: The Wager Titan: Stray by JohnnyScribe
Kiri entered her office and was pleased to see that the human, Oteo, was already seated on her desk and waiting for her. Lishda was not present, but then Kiri hadn’t asked for her to be either. She would be dealing with each of the humans one on one today. “Good morning Oteo.” Kiri said …
Chapter 9: Caper Titan: Stray by Johnny Scribe
“You may begin.” Kiri leaned back in her office chair and watched as the two humans on her desktop concentrated on the tiny screens in front of them. Though she’d probably never admit it, she was grateful that Naskia’s connection to Pryvani Tarsuss, and by extension Avalon, had facilitated the procurement of two human-sized computers …
Chapter 8: Essni’s Gang Titan: Stray by Johnny Scribe
It wasn’t that Elena was afraid of Titans. She wasn’t. She’d been living among them for… well, she wasn’t really sure how long it had been. Months, anyway. She’d been dodging Titan feet for a while, anyway. She was used to them. But the fact of the matter was she’d never been directly under a …
Chapter 7: Fancy Meeting You Here Titan: Stray by Johnny Scribe
“What do you suppose she’s going to do to us?” Oteo turned to look at Lishda. The young woman was curled up in the corner of their carrier with her knees pressed to her chest. Oteo scratched the back of his neck. “I… I don’t know.” He mumbled, a bit apprehensively. “There’s nothing we can …
Chapter 6: Punishment from the Gods Titan: Stray
Happy new year everybody! We’re still alive! “There, easy now. I got you.” Oteo’s heart sank as the woman’s voice vibrated the air around him. He was clenched uncomfortably in her hand, his arm having been pinned behind him, as the Titan carefully drew him out from the ventilation shaft and …
Chapter 5: Incision Titan: Stray by Johnny Scribe
They were both losing steam. The two women had been on the run from their giant pursuers for what seemed like hours now. Every twist and turn that Elena and Mihiya made to try and avoid capture was apparently for nothing. Every time they rounded a corner, there was one of the giants ready to …
Chapter 4: Language Barrier Titan: Stray by JohnnyScribe
She’d been so focused on freeing the two people that were now following her through the spaceport vents that Elena hadn’t really considered what to do about after. The young woman spared a glance over her shoulder at the two new companions she’d acquired. The two of them were whispering to each other and occasionally …
