I shall be back in an hour to pick you up,’ smiling at her. As he went to shower. When he had finished, he was fully dressed again and as he reached...the door, he turned. ‘Take your hand away from your cunt, there is no need for you to cover yourself.’ As he was closing the door he said, ‘Put something on I can see through, and no underwear,’ then closed the door behind him, leaving her staring at the closed door.‘Huh, go out with no underwear on, he has to be joking,’ she thought to herself.. "You're worth waiting for."She said, "Thanks," but the way she jerked her hand away instinctivelysuggested to me that I would be facing a long wait.-----So I was all the more surprised when just a week later, she approached me atlunch, with a request that I escort her to a Halloween costume party.

Funguses, corrosion, and rot attacked everything as soon as it came in contact with the planet. If we slept in a shelter at night, by morning, the shelter and all our belongings would be rotting and crumbling away. No matter what measures we used to fight the incursion, a new strain would immediately show up that was immune to our poisons or fungicides or whatever else we threw at it. The shuttles, once landed, could not take off again. We were stuck on what we thought was a hostile planet with.
