As soon as this pitch-black gas made contact with the slimy sucker of the oblivious great general, it soundlessly penetrated his skin, seamlessly seeping through his pores. Even the oily substance shielding the alien from Jake's radiation was powerless to hinder this thing.

I had a good rest this week, so from tomorrow the double releases will start to roll in. For those of you who don't know, my second novel Cursed Legacy will also be released in the next week or two for the WSA contest.
