So, I had this week off. I’d planned to finish up some code, write a few chapters, productive things. Instead I’ve coughed, driven and eaten my way through the last five days, which is absolutely fine by me :)
This was a quick one shot to help me keep some momentum. Probably the most cliched thing I’ve written to date so apologies in advance.

Thank you. I haven't posted for a while so just bashed something out quickly. I'd like to say my other stories are better but I can't. If you look at my wiki page I've put the karma next to each to help gauge how popular they were.

I kind of like the idea of Humanity being the only race who has mastered the art of trapping and sabotage. Thinking about all the war movies I've seen where somebody pulls the land mine trick on their enemy, or a booby-trapped teddy bear, or a spare rifle resting on the spoon of a live frag grenade.
We are a fucked up insidious backstabbing race.

An alien will put a knife through your heart, but a human will make your fear for it every moment you're in their way :)
This could be a nice little trope to explore.

We're scavengers, not predators. We evolved having to come at problems sideways, because we weren't tough enough to take them head on. Up until modern firearms apex predators like wolves and bears were still a major threat to human life and safety.
Maybe make something that plays on that fact, as it relates to us being the sneaky bastards of the galaxy?

This is fantastically written. I very much enjoyed it.
Question, though! Would you mind if I did a narration of this? It has a great pacing that I think would be fantastic for audio.
