Bad Machinery by John Allison for May 17, 2019

What do you say to a goddess? “Instruct me in your worship.”

Cause zebras will kill your ass, that’s why. And then kick you into paste

Perhaps a signal that Sonny swings a different direction?

This is the real reason behind arranged marriages. Throw the kids together and let them complain to each other.

“You told us you’d kissed loads of girls on holiday.”

“I might have remembered that wrong.”

Yeah, that goes for me, too.

Was the Zebra comment a diversion or was it what he thinks Linton should use as a pickup line?

Your mileage may vary. That striped tail is cute, though.

“How come everyone seems to have a girlfriend except me?”

I don’t know, Linton. Maybe cause it’s you?

Sonny hasn’t answered. He’s ducking the issue. What’s up with him?

IN the Dreamlands you can only ride zebras or shantaks. Don’t go near the latter. Night-Gaunts are no better unless you are a ghoul.

I remember being in Linton’s situation, thinking that no girl would find me interesting.
