Another Game? by Jake P. Flash Fiction contest entry |
"Another game? What do ya say? I'll give you the northern hemisphere and ten points."
Ten years in a space ship is boring, but Ge'gut was tired of playing Earth with Samut. The lizard was a genius at computer technology, and he never lost at computer games. Ge'gut was an engineer-- a fixer. He could repair anything on the ship given enough time, but a computer fanatic, he wasn't. "Come on. Just one more game then we can cook the human for supper. I know how much you love a juicy liver haggis." "All right. One game, but I want twenty points." Ge'gut sent a category 5 hurricane to New Zealand, and followed it with a sixty foot tsunami. He killed thirty thousand humans. Samut produced volcanic eruptions in a ring of fire across the San Andreas Fault. He killed fifty thousand, and the volcanic ash killed a million more.
