A Human Let Four Alien Cubs Into Their Shelter And Later It Turned Ou
from Short SciFi Stories on the go · host Kelli Korner
A human, let four alien cubs into their shelter, and later it turned out it had all been a test. The storm howled like a living thing, screaming across the ice flats, tearing metal from ruins, flaying flesh from bone, and the shelter door opened anyway. One human, limited power, limited food, limited heat, designed to keep one soldier alive through a planetary whiteout. When one cub woke screaming from a neural spasm, damaged from cold exposure, she didn't hesitate. You see, the human said, eyes cold now, war cold.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/little-scifi-stories-on-the-go--7033804/support.
