S. H. Marpel
- Four
- women,
- with
- unique
- super-abilities
- -
- who
- each
- could
- save
- or
- destroy
- humankind.Each
- came
- to
- this
- planet
- for
- their
- own
- reasons,
- deeply
- flawed.
- Victims
- of
- time
- and
- circumstance.Any
- one
- of
- these,
- just
- by
- themselves,
- could
- end
- all
- life
- on
- this
- planet
- in
- a
- heartbeat.Why
- would
- anyone
- want
- to
- assemble
- a
- team
- of
- feminine
- time
- bombs?Maybe
- to
- get
- them
- to
- save
- their
- own
- lives...(Contains
- the
- complete
- 4-part
- anthology.)Excerpt:I
- looked
- at
- Gaia
- worried
- face,
- and
- then
- to
- Hami's.
- "Would
- it
- do
- any
- good
- to
- see
- the
- crater
- where
- it
- happened?"Gaia
- shook
- her
- head
- "no".
- "If
- you
- consider
- this
- table
- the
- crater..."
- She
- places
- the
- salt
- and
- pepper
- shakers
- near
- the
- center,
- and
- a
- paper
- napkin
- dispenser
- to
- one
- side,
- half
- way
- to
- the
- table
- edge.
- "Tess
- and
- Silvie
- were
- in
- the
- middle,
- Star
- was
- up
- on
- the
- side."
- She
- tipped
- the
- pieces
- on
- their
- sides
- to
- show
- roughly
- how
- the
- girl's
- bodies
- were
- laying.
- The
- salt
- and
- pepper
- shakers
- were
- laying
- at
- right
- angles
- to
- each
- other."And
- Star
- was
- face
- down?""Yes,
- and
- her
- head
- was
- toward
- the
- edge
- of
- the
- crater."I
- considered
- this.
- "So
- their
- burns
- weren't
- necessarily
- from
- Star.""Unless
- she
- burned
- them
- first
- and
- then
- was
- moving
- away.""...and
- went
- unconscious
- afterward,
- like
- she
- collapsed
- when
- we
- found
- her."Hami
- put
- her
- hand
- on
- top
- of
- mine.
- She
- knew
- how
- much
- I
- was
- taking
- this
- personally,
- by
- how
- I
- was
- forcing
- myself
- to
- study
- the
- "crime
- scene".Gaia
- looked
- over
- the
- positioning
- again.
- "But
- we
- didn't
- see
- tracks
- behind
- her,
- and
- the
- radiation
- wasn't
- any
- higher
- than
- normal.
- If
- it
- had
- been,
- Jean
- and
- I
- would
- have
- drenched
- that
- place
- in
- water
- to
- cool
- it
- off,
- like
- last
- time.""That
- clothing
- they
- all
- wore
- was
- nearly
- tear-proof.
- The
- tessies
- made
- it,
- and
- it's
- more
- like
- a
- woven
- steel
- that
- a
- bullet
- couldn't
- even
- get
- through.
- Yet
- their
- clothing
- was
- ripped
- on
- all
- of
- them.
- The
- only
- thing
- that
- could
- do
- that
- would
- be
- the
- tessies
- themselves."Gaia
- raised
- an
- eyebrow
- at
- that."But
- aren't
- they
- friendly
- to
- Tess?
- Like
- almost
- part
- of
- her?
- Her
- clothing
- shouldn't
- have
- been
- torn.""And
- as
- well,
- I've
- seen
- Silvie's
- fireballs
- dissolve
- a
- thick,
- braided
- cord
- of
- that
- stuff.
- If
- Star
- had
- gone
- 'nova'
- on
- them,
- it
- would
- have
- melted
- that
- side
- of
- their
- clothing."Rochelle
- scooted
- her
- chair
- closer
- to
- mine,
- and
- put
- her
- arm
- around
- the
- back
- of
- it.
- "Not
- exactly
- a
- locked-door
- mystery,
- but
- close."I
- nodded.
- "All
- this
- points
- to
- someone
- else
- being
- present
- and
- causing
- this
- somehow."The
- screen
- door
- swung
- open
- at
- that,
- and
- we
- all
- heard
- some
- soft
- feet
- pad
- in
- on
- the
- tongue-and-groove
- wood
- floor.A
- green
- hood
- of
- her
- insulated
- jacket
- covered
- straight
- strawberry-blond
- hair,
- parted
- in
- the
- middle.
- That
- all
- framed
- a
- pair
- of
- light
- green
- eyes,
- a
- petite
- nose,
- and
- full
- rose-red
- lips.Her
- soft-soled,
- brown
- leather
- boots
- climbed
- up
- her
- legs
- to
- disappear
- beneath
- the
- bottom
- edge
- of
- the
- long,
- quilted
- jacket.Her
- look
- was
- serious,
- but
- calm
- as
- she
- took
- in
- the
- three
- of
- us."That
- someone
- else
- –
- would
- be
- me."(Contains
