Chapter 71: One cage is the same as the rest.

Place: Alien Slave Market, Somewhere in the Universe.

“Chasm?” Norwell whispered his name from the small osmium enclosure next to him. “I’ve got an idea.”

Chasm ignored his friend as his eyes wandered around the swarm of aliens buying and selling in the slave market. The last idea Norwell had didn’t go so well for him. Chasm’s legs had been cut off under the knees, and after that, he’d been fitted with the weights that forced him to move slower than a drugged actnabar. Not to mention the horrible agony he lived with every day.

“Chasm?” Norwell hissed, trying to get his attention. Maybe today Chasm wasn’t interested in Norwell’s next big getaway plan. Perhaps today, he would just sit here and accept his fate.
