Me: I like this one. Not as much as the last one, but still. I've been re-reading all of the stories in the series, and its rather obvious that despite the fact that they were all (will be) uploaded within a similar time frame, there is a gap between the writing time of the first couple and the ones after. My writing style has actually changed. Not much, just enough to tell. So huh.
Army of EVIL Plot Bunnies: And this matters because...?
Me: Oh it doesn't. I was just curious.
What! How? No! It's gone! The power... Still what else to do.
She'll take care of the child, and we'll see what's outside.
Hmmmmm
Humans! They never think! First the acid, then the ants! Well ant creatures..
I've never seen them before... Fascinating. And the gold...
Using gold to control minds. A mighty war between two formally peaceful species. Rivers of acid but no knowledge as to its aims.
Gold pen, gold bracelet, gold harness (ha found a way around that!). Contact is enough. They steal your body and you cannot do a thing (why gold?).
Scrambling, running, dodging (and trying not to be absorbed). When did this become the norm?
Gold. Symbol: Au, Atomic Number: 79, Atomic Mass: 196.97. Non-corrosive, malleable and ductile.
Not exactly your typical mind control agent (psychic influence maybe?).
Still stopped now.
What's that?!
...
What's that old earth phrase?
Six for gold...
Me: Penultimate story! One more to go!
Army of EVIL Plot Bunnies: You really can't think of anything else to say can you?!
Me: Nope.
