On April 12, 2035, the United Earthship Dromedary passed through the Kohoutek 4-55 nebula, causing quite an uproar among Biblical scholars and some raucous victory parties in financial districts throughout the solar system.

In April, I ended the human world, but in May, I created an entirely different one: growing souls in the palm of my hand.

"Dude, " streamed FTL D. Rupert Astor-Rockfeller IX, verfied the third richest oxy-breather technically alive, to Fortescue Frimp-Algorhythm, the second richest methane-absorber, "did you catch the footage of the Dromedary going through that frickin' Space Eye nebula? We're frickin' in, Dude, and St. Peter can kiss my platnum plated prostate!"


Okay, maybe that was technically two sentences . . .

My android cows provide me with the sweetest, lightweight oil for my hovercraft and I'm still trying to figure out why she thought I'd give up even a small portion of that. YEAH RIGHT!

Adding that extra portion of Spice Girls to my Dragon Curry seemed like a good idea- until the entire restaurant began belching to the tune of their second album.

The first spawn of Ambassador Ncklbrr of Rrrrzz, Brmbl knew better than to flip over the Chelonian Consulate's brood at nap time--but it was so much fun to see them rocking on their shells like that!

It was dark enough that I didn't see the knight when he crept into my cave, but when he drew his sword and stood over my nest, I didn't need to see to snap his neck between my jaws.

I believe the last straw for my former employers was when I began ovulating in the middle of an important client meeting--there were eggs everywhere.

I knew my OB was reluctant to let me fly at eight months, but who knew my brood would set off the bomb detectors at Heathrow?

When the doctor told me I was pregnant, I was ecstatic but when he told me I was going to lay an egg, I started molting (which apparently is to be expected at this stage in my pregnancy).

* Sarah W beat me to it, but I left this, hoping we could work together? :)
