Chlorda paused on the side of corridor, setting the back of one hand against one golden cheek. “How disorienting! Fun, though.” “But nex’ time we does it, us dainty types goes first,” said Bassada, folding her arms across her chest as she stood on the ceiling. “Watchin’ ‘em two slabsa chunk roast wobbleContinue reading “DRAGONSHELF AND THE DROVER XXX”

DRAGONSHELF AND THE DROVER XXIX
His Imperial Worship frowned, his chin on his palm, one little finger between his lips. “It might be amusing to send you out next,” he said, his eyes steady on the monitor, “He might kill you out of general principle.” Nubry formed a large letter Y, head down and with her feet farContinue reading “DRAGONSHELF AND THE DROVER XXIX”
DRAGONSHELF AND THE DROVER XXVIII
It was testimony to the lung capacity of Klamathans that Louba was able to sigh so heavily in midflight. “Stick a hat on me butt an’ see if I thinks better that way.” She leapt over the third box of assorted chocolates. “I feels a right lumpuck.” “They roast lumpucks, don’t they?” inquiredContinue reading “DRAGONSHELF AND THE DROVER XXVIII”
DRAGONSHELF AND THE DROVER XVII
The foursome made cautious progress through a broad square room with dark blue walls. They had deciphered the floor tiles so as to proceed without immediate impalement, but this brought Bott no great sense of accomplishment. Anyone who couldn’t figure out not to step on the tiles with holes in them didn’t deserve toContinue reading “DRAGONSHELF AND THE DROVER XVII”
DRAGONSHELF AND THE DROVER XXVI
At a great distance from the ravine, four eyes were able to watch the screaming woman drop, not only as a figure on a screen but as a blip on a graph. A third screen blinked on to allow them to witness the impact. “We will not make that mistake in the future.”Continue reading “DRAGONSHELF AND THE DROVER XXVI”
DRAGONSHELF AND THE DROVER XXV
Bott hit the big golden door first. The black knob turned a fingerwidth to the left, but no farther. The grumbles of the grobbles grew louder as more pushed up onto the bridge. The scent pf burning grobble was unattractive, but not as unattractive as the odor of approaching unburnt grobble. A dimpledContinue reading “DRAGONSHELF AND THE DROVER XXV”
DRAGONSHELF AND THE DROVER XXIV
“Grobble grobble grobble.” “Hey, grumblin’ grobbles! Getcher big baggy shoulders outa my way! How many we got?” Bott looked the newcomer over. A low gray oval with deep black eyes and long grey teeth was toddling through the forest, paying no attention to the glittering trees. Tufts of red hair over theContinue reading “DRAGONSHELF AND THE DROVER XXIV”
DRAGONSHELF AND THE DROVER XXIII
“Where is she?” Bott demanded, pulling the gold card out of his pocket. “You know the rules, lummox. I can tell you only where the Dragonshelf is.” Bott glanced around the little yellow room again for impending hazards, and then demanded, “Can you tell me if I went through the same doorContinue reading “DRAGONSHELF AND THE DROVER XXIII”
DRAGONSHELF AND THE DROVER XXII
Bott had heard of the Biereyen, but this was the first time he’d been in a Imperial compound rich enough, and large enough, to keep a herd of them for the torment of prisoners. Immense lugubrious beasts, they watched with hollow eyes as the mining boat rolled toward them. Their long horns clatteredContinue reading “DRAGONSHELF AND THE DROVER XXII”
DRAGONSHELF AND THE DROVER XXI
“Should we try to climb the waterfall?” Nubry suggested. “Or slide down the drain?” A series of rooms in clashing colors had presented no real obstacles beyond an increasing difficulty in reaching the exits. Bott looked up the big grey rocks to the grey door waiting beyond the tumbling grey water. “No,Continue reading “DRAGONSHELF AND THE DROVER XXI”
