Thanks, Rex! I might surprise you yet...
-
Yup. I did want to show the creepiness of having something done to you which you don't immediately understand, though.
-
Thank you for reading, and reviewing! Right now I'm hard at work on Tantalus, another story being published here, but Winterblade part II is high up on my priority list!

Chapter 12 Jim pulled me out of the wreckage of our bunker, grunting with the effort, but even with his help I barely managed to scramble back to the surface. I nodded my silent thanks to him. I didn't have enough useful air in my lungs to actually talk. The Furballs were milling all around us, urging me to hurry. I didn't know if it was because they sensed the urgency of our need or simply because they were scared of being out in the open. In any case, they climbed out of the hole like a f

Thank you very much, metajinx! It's awesome to hear that my carefully-planned machinations are well-received!
-
Menacing kittens was exactly what I was going for, lol!
-
Furballs are much less aware of their individuality than humans, but yeah, a loss or death does affect them all.
-
You're right, Cannd - the Temple is too far away for them to get there on foot before passing out. The next chapter may have an answer to that problem.
-
Wow - thanks Dathi! Trust me, I'm writing this one fast, but also with care and time for beta reading/editing to ensure the quality remains the same. Your patience will be well rewarded!
-
Furballs are emotionally well-developed but have trouble understanding abstract thoughts. Thank you for another unerringlly insightful forecast for the following chapter!
-
You and me both, Stephen - I think telepathy would add a whole new dimension to how humans interact.

Communal mentality is a concept I've always found fascinating, so this is my own humble stab at creating one. Thank you for reviewing!

Chapter 11 It was madness. Jim was shouting something at me, trying to bulldoze his way through the increasingly large pile of dirt and debris that was quickly filling up the space in our emergency bunker. Aliens kept coming down the hole, adding their voices to the whisper in my mind that could not be denied, and which was quickly becoming a shout. Ours. There was a brief whirlwind as the last of our pressurized atmosphere escaped, to be lost forever. It took with it our last chance of s

Lol - thanks as always, Valkyrie!
-
Thank you! There's some cool stuff coming up!
-
Sorry for yet another cliffie! They do lend themselves well to episodic storytelling, though
-
Thanks! I hope to surprise you yet with what follows!
-
I have a weakness for back stories, and I must confess I couldn't resist giving info on what had happened before.
-
yeah, the furry guys took their own sweet time, but they've arrived
-
lol yeah - the death bed comment is spot-on!
-
Thanks! Yup, the Furballs are finally here after much suspense
-
I know I have a rainbow flag in here somewhere...

Chapter 10 By the end of our sixth day inside the bunker I had started feeling a certain shortness of breath and hints of lightheadedness if I stood up too quickly. I tried not to think about it, but the realization that our air was running out made the space seem ten times smaller. I started catching myself staring at the walls around me, but particularly at the ceiling, as if checking whether it had moved closer to my head while I wasn't looking. Jim and I weren't talking to each other. I

Thank you. You're right, things have taken a turn for the worse now, and I'm glad it comes across through the narrative.
