The month of Halloween calls for creepy images...

SPACE MORGUE. IN SPACE NO ONE CAN HEAR YOU SCREAM. This is where Nim finds herself when she tries to get the smartest and most agile student in EBS studies (Earth Biological Survey) Ruga the Tethican alien, to join her EBS team. He happens to also be the most centralized hated outcast in Wormwood Academy, and yet chronically avoids Nim like space plague because she’s an unpopular weird human girl. How ironic you think he would tolerate any friend at this point. He demands that she meet him in the academy morgue after dinner on his terms in hopes to frighten the hell out of her so she’ll leave him alone. FAIL. How could he have known that she’s like the crypt keeper with her obsession for vintage Frankenstein and status as President of the AV club. The morgue is like a cakewalk for her, hello, monthly monster movie night that hardly anyone ever shows up for because she’s such a nerd! So he tries to tell her how her attempt at friendship is really lame and denied, only to bipolar himself into indecisiveness because there’s something so ugdorably creepy about her dark human eyes that draws further probing. How he hates dark eyed humans and any human for that matter. GOT A CASE OF THE LOVE BIPOLARZ. Oh Ruga, you know you just need a hug, turn that frown upside down! This is a scene from my story Galaxy Magnolia.

Ruga and Nim are students in Wormwood Academy. Story and characters belong to me.  axolotl-mafia
