Human Fell Asleep During Meeting Cub Covered Her Head and Said Shhh S
from Short SciFi Stories on the go · host Kelli Korner
Gasps erupted because the CUB was corthi, predator emperors, planet breakers, a species whose adults negotiated with fleets in orbit and claws on triggers. The CUB patted across the table, tail flicking once and gently pulled a thermal cloak over Lyra's head. Footage of Lyra carrying the CUB through a burning station, one arm broken, still firing with the other. It placed one small paw on Lyra's shoulder and screamed, not loud, not long, but deep. And when even a predator cub decided a human deserved rest, it meant that somewhere, somehow, humanity had become the thing monsters trusted to stand watch.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/little-scifi-stories-on-the-go--7033804/support.
