Fit For A King

63: Poison
He had spent a full moon cycle on the
planet the residents called “Earth”. Funny how every planet seems
to have the same name just a different word for it.
From talking to the residents he found
what he was searching for, a gift for his king. Not just any ordinary
gift but a living creature. One that all the Earthlings he met had
agreed was the most dangerous creature on the planet.
“Your Majesty”, he proclaimed
before the royal court, “the most dangerous creature known on the
planet called Earth”, as he pulled the drape off a large bottle
marked poison, “an Earth woman.”

ah she certainly is dangerous....i imagine they will have a hard time keeping her bottled up for long....smiles...
Dangerous.. But just like most poison also with a sweet lure.. Sci-if works so well.
Goodness me, I'd never thought of myself as that dangerous! However, the disconnect that sometimes arises between men and women can lead to dangerous misunderstandings... :)
Sci-Fi was the perfect setting for this concept. So much behind it, so much to wonder about the woman being presented. Why *her* in particular? Hmmm....
