Aisell held Luke for as long as she could attempting to console him but there was nothing she could do to make him feel better. He was beyond devastated. He knew now there was no way home and the struggle he had gone through over the last four and a half months, which for him …
Chapter Ten: Yet More Titan: Nomad, Chapter by OpenHighHat
Luke woke up in the now familiar position of Aisell’s lap. He looked up along the towering cliff of Aisell’s body. She was wearing a tight dark top and a red skirt on the bottom. A bit more fashionable than her cleaning attire and more appropriate for being out in public than her nightie. He …
Chapter Nine: Cold Reality Titan: Nomad, Chapter by OpenHighHat
Aisell sat at a table in the canteen. She had a healthy but not overly substantial breakfast of mixed fruits and yoghurt. She would have killed for something greasy and unhealthy but she couldn’t afford it. She always felt hungry these days and had lost a bit of weight during her stay on Titan Station. …
Chapter Eight: Mess Titan: Nomad, Chapter by OpenHighHat
“Luke…say something…please?” Aisell said sucking in her lips and stroking on them nervously with her tongue inside her mouth. The tiny man in her palm was just staring at the soft skin of the hand he was sitting in. He had quietly sat and listened to her explain Humanity’s place in the vast Titan Empire. …
Chapter Seven: Mountaineering Titan: Nomad, Chapter by OpenHighHat
Luke looked up to Aisell who had both eyes buried in her pad. She wasn’t paying him any attention, she was just letting him do what he wanted. He slowly started to walk up the bed keeping a distance of about eight feet from Aisell’s large form. He counted at least twenty five steps from …
Chapter Six: New Surroundings Titan: Nomad, Chapter by OpenHighHat
Aisell walked round the market back towards the canteen not really watching where she was going. She was watching Luke lying on his back in her palm, his chest slowly rising and falling as he slept. His face was no longer pale and he had a bit more colour about his cheeks. She reached her …
Chapter Five: The Kindness of Strangers Titan: Nomad, Chapter by OpenHighHat
“No…no…” Luke shouted as the monster closed to within striking distance. All he could hear was the sound of his heart about to explode and the sickening hissing sound from the beast. His arms wobbled and his head felt like his brain was on fire. Sweat ran in torrents from his forehead and his vision …
Chapter Four: Nerves of Steel Titan: Nomad, Chapter by OpenHighHat
It took another full minute walking steadily but nervously for the pair to reach the grate. Luke turned around and set his sack down. Aisell had stopped a few paces behind him and was watching and waiting for him to arrive at the entrance to his home. Luke was feeling a lot happier now he …
Chapter Three: Are You a Man or a Mouse? Titan: Nomad, Chapter by OpenHighHat
“Hey little guy…don’t be scared…I’m not going to hurt you.” Aisell said in a soft voice. Luke didn’t move. He didn’t speak. He felt like a rabbit in headlights under her gaze. He’d been spotted by other giants before and he’d always reacted quickly and gotten out of there. He didn’t know if he wanted …
Chapter Two: First Contact Titan: Nomad, Chapter by OpenHighHat
Luke groaned awake, his stomach growling and crying out to be fed. He lay staring up at the indented metal ceiling and rubbed his hands on his eyes trying to clear the gloom from his vision. He breathed out a long, slow sigh as he pressed his hands into his forehead. His head was pounding …
