I just came up with an idea for the anthology. *looks at Hazardous' incomplete third book* Crap.

If that happens, let me know your secret.

I love it when my dad cooks lamb. He serves it with this great mint and horse radish sauce. We usually eat it a few times a year. None for Easter this year though.

I'm hanging with @Davide

My coworker just unexpectedly invited me to church. I'm sitting here thinking about the filth I wrote last night and wondering how she knew.

Most the research I've done states that you should know some of the language for dealing with government officials or bureaucratic processes, but hopefully I'll improve once I'm around it all the time. I think it'll be a little easier than what Malik is going to have to go through.

I plan to move to Europe after I retire, and then I'll have to learn the language of my new home, but that's not for another 15 years or so. I should probably start now though.

Maybe?

I enjoy reading about your theories! The future chapters should address some of them. But Malik definitely learns who is an enemy and who will be an ally in the new household. I had fun writing the scene with the priest and briefly going back to Malik's old reality. I appreciate your comments! Thank you for reading! Thank you so much for commenting.

Malik is doing the best he knows how. And he has a plan. Only time will tell if it's a good one or not. Thanks for reading and the comments!

The scene with the priest, was a lot of fun to write. As for the machines, Malik is very determined to get home at this point. Thank you for reading and commenting.

Malik's not in for an easy time, but like you say, it could be much worse. And yes for the language learning process. Over the past few years, I have tried to learn French, Japanese and Portuguese, but always give up in frustration at some point because it takes so long. @Jason Rimbaud will have to comment first on the next forty or so chapters to redeeem himself.

As an author who has been promoted twice, can confirm.

Hazardous is up for the taking. The feet stuff costs extra.

It's Hazardous Thursday! Go check out the new chapter or I'll start talking about my feet again! https://gayauthors.org/story/cassieq/hazardous/3

This actually sent me into a small research spiral on Albanian language and it was pretty interesting. Thank you!

Chapter 3 is up! Come hang out with the coolest people on GA! https://gayauthors.org/story/cassieq/hazardous/3

Chapter Three Malik woke up the next morning, feeling groggy. His stomach seemed to have settled and was growling noisily, wanting food. His hands had been re-tied in the night, which was disappointing, but they were tied in the front, instead of behind him, so he tried to look at this as a positive sign. Naivres, beaming, offered him a slice of bread, spread with a dark golden substance that looked like honey and topped with nuts and berries. He took it a little cautious

Congratulations!! Now get back to writing!

Interesting tidbit about the language. I've never spoken Albanian in my life. I considered trying to create a new language for Hazardous but that Interest lasted for all of 10 minutes. So I just worked on words here and there. If they are Albanian, it was unintentional. Malik is pretty bull headed in some regards, so he really needed something to snap him out of the mind set that this was somehow semi-normal and would be able to go home. Which would probably be my mindset too, in similar circumstances. The alien race, from the language to their suspicious nature to some more complicated concepts that come up later, was challenging to write, which was partially the point. I wanted to see if I could write relationships that didn't rely heavily on dialogue and ended up just finding a bunch of creative ways to break my own rules instead. Thank you for reading and commenting!

Very true. Thanks for commenting.

Thank you. This was a lot of fun to write and I'm glad to finally be sharing it! And @Thirdly is amazing!

Of course I did. What do you take me for, an amateur?

Okay, Mr. High Road. Why don't you tell me more about the restaurant dream from the other night? You remember the one.
