《Give me my lily pad back.》Ch1 Today can go lick a slug
Advertisement
Mibbet was having a very bad day, it had started off just the same as any other day, maybe even slightly better than usual. She’d started off with a nice juicy dragonfly getting exactly within range for a snack, the sun was shining, the birds were singing.
Then just as she was relaxing on her favourite lillypad, sun on her back (but not too much) right in the middle of the pond, getting ready for a long, well earned nap. As if the froggy gods were laughing at her it all went sour with what can only be described as a squoomph.
Then all of a sudden, quick as a blink, she was too big for her lily pad, and up to her elbows (where did those come from?) In water. Normally this would not be a problem for her, she’d just hop to the next pad over, but apparently her body did not seem to agree with that idea as she belly flopped in the most pathetic jump in the history of jumps into the cold, muddy, water , and for some reason she didn’t like it.
She coughed and spluttered, somehow dragging herself to shore, spitting up perfectly good water in tremendous amounts. Just then a fly buzzed past, exactly in range. She snapped her tongue out but, wait a second where was her tongue? Everything else she could dismiss as just strange, but her TONGUE? She loved her tongue, she could grab a snack from inches away.
Freaky non webby limbs she could just about deal with, sort of, maybe. But a long tongue and the eyes to use it were a girl's pride and joy. Without them she’d be reduced to eating slugs. That brought a shudder, then again she was shuddering a lot anyway, and for some reason she couldn’t stop.

The only word for it was cold, but it wasn’t time to hibernate yet, and something in her (if it was still hers) head told her it would be a very very VERY bad idea to try it. The word hypothermia floated to the front of her brain (as if it didn’t already have enough to worry about with a completely new body to deal with, and shiny brand new functions it had no idea what to do with. But that word kept screaming so brain decided it had better listen) and with it came the idea that she should seek shelter.
Looking around her her options were limited though, her log with all those juicy bugs in the hollow wouldn’t fit her anymore, and that hurt almost as much as the tongue thing. That log had been good to her, but now, even with her best efforts she didn’t seem to fit. But looking around her again she noticed something. In the distance there was smoke, apparently the word hypothermia was now accompanied by the words town, and fire, and the new, very welcome sounding word warm. for some reason they all seemed to think it was a good idea to go there.
Well at least it was a direction, so Mibbit got unsteadily back on all fours, pointed herself towards town, and jumped, barely left the ground, stumbled over her long gangly and apparently now much less hoppy legs, and landed flat on her face in the mud.
It would seem that another new feature of the day was the ability to give off the loudest sighs ever. (Hardly a fair swap but in the circumstances it was welcome nonetheless.) Oh today could just go lick a slug. She struggled to get up, then slipped in the mud and faceplanted again.
In fact,she thought with another slightly muddy and very grumpy sounding sigh, today could go lick all of the slugs.

Vigilantes Make Us Safe: Rebel Rebel
When the world was on the brink in the 1940s a group of men and women with uncommon ability pulled the world from the brink. They inspired generations to come and led to a golden age of vigilantes protecting the world. Times change. By the early 2000s almost nowhere was willing to tolerate unregulated men and women dispensing their own form of justice. The dawn of the internet made operating in the shadows virtually impossible. Everyone thought the days of vigilantes were done but presidential candidate Richard Hughes, riding a wave of populism, has promised to bring these men and women into the light and empower them to keep us all safe. The passing of the Vigilantes Making Us Safe Act changes everything. All teenagers feel like they don’t fit in at times. Ryaan Asfour knows the feeling well. As part of an immigrant family in a country turning against immigrants, there’s a lot of people who don’t think he belongs. The election of Richard Hughes and the passage of the Vigilantes Making Us Safe Act hasn’t helped matters. Suddenly anyone who wants to discriminate can just say they’re keeping people safe and do whatever they want. Sudden popularity at school after hitting a game winning shot makes it even more apparent how much he doesn’t fit in with the rest of his world. A clash with a pair of vigilantes on his way home from school puts things in perspective. What can Ryaan do to protect his family and his neighborhood? Vigilantes Making Us Safe will follow a variety of lead characters including Serenity, Toxic, Hitbox, the Rebel and more. I'll keep the cover image and title updated to reflect the current protagonist but I encourage you to check them all out.
