Unnaturals #2: Escape From Lion's Head - Devon Hughes

Image
                                    K0-7M0 has never had a name. Or anything you could call a life, for that matter. She lives in the humans' research facilities, all alone, until a new animal comes in. He's a dog, talkative, and very whiny. But Kozmo, as he named her, and the new dog help each other escape.  In the not-so-wonderful world outside the facility, Kozmo meets a bunch of hybrids like her. Their leader, Castor, a feisty eagle-dog. But within the blink of an eye, they're being chased. So Kozmo has to do something she's never dreamed of doing before: trust the others.

  Castor, a street dog living in a dystopian world, lives in a pack with his brother, Runt. Together they survive the Humans' crusherslushers and hunt enough food to survive.

And soon, as he barely lives through the match-ups he's put against with other mutants, Castor knows he'll soon have to defeat the Invincible.  And Castor knows he  can't defeat the Invincible.  But he and his friends can.

Okay, you get it. Well, anyway, my oh so very best teacher gave us a few prompts to write a scene from. Hence the creepy and nerve-racking clown scene I made. Hence me wanting to write another one. Hence THIS.  So, without further ADO, I present to you:  The Mirror of Okdor!           Tap, tap, tap. "Argh!" Hannah grunted, throwing her markers down on the carpet. "I'm trying to draw here!" Hannah peered up, at the window in front of her. Was it coming from there?      Quickly checking the clock, Hannah shook her head. It has midnight. How had she been drawing for that long? Mother would be v...
