Growing Up on Zartacla

by Flame Soldier

There really weren't any other kids for him to play with on that terra. Just the prisoners and track beasts. At least he always had his Pa. Drabbles and one shots revolving around the relationship between Mr. Moss and Hamish.

4. Girls

Four: Girls

"Pa?"

Mr. Moss looked down as he felt Hamish tugging at him pant leg. "What is it, son?"

"How come there ain't any girls on the terra?"

"Girls?" He furrowed his brow for a moment, trying to think quickly. "There ain't any here 'cause... They got cooties."

"I know!" Hamish replied. "But I wanna catch un!"

"A girl?"

"No! A cootie!"

A/N Hasn't anyone ever wondered what one of these alleged cooties looked like? =p
