Roswell Fanatics

Chapter 39 In the other tent Liz sat beside a sleeping Isobel and watched with detached interest as the alien girl dreamed of Max, far away tonight in both mind and body, sleeping in another anonymous motel somewhere beside an endless highway. Isobel was on the dream plane, alone in the cold, starli...

Chapter 38 Michael had gone over to the shower block leaving Maria to rapidly shed her outdoor clothes and hang them in the vestibule. She made a mental note to herself to think about their laundry tomorrow. They didn’t have too many clothes and if she didn’t watch Michael he would live in his black...

Chapter 37 There was no dessert for dinner. Somehow, it didn’t seem right to eat frivolous alien ice-cream when they had serious issues to discuss and so Maria’s spicy tomato pasta and Michael’s honey-and-Tabasco-dressed salad were eaten without comment. The evening meal took even longer to finish t...

Chapter 36 Michael and Maria walked quietly along the track towards the camp, alert for any signs of disturbance. They approached with caution, stepping off the path into the trees well before they came within sight of the camp. The areas round all the campsites that edged the lake were carefully ma...

I’ll be back before dark. Don’t wor...

Chapter 32 Bright sunlight sparkled on the water in an invitation to explore the lovely morning outside, but those within the tent were oblivious. Fear and panic gripped them all as Kyle’s words brought the horror of the past few weeks back into their still-shocked minds. Nobody had yet remembered i...

Chapter 31 Maria stirred and woke up, her first conscious feeling - even before her first conscious thought – flooding through her and making her whole being sing with joy and delight. Michael loved her and she loved him. Totally, completely, unconditionally - and in every known position…and a few m...

Chapter 30 Over in the other tent all was in silent darkness. When Liz and her bodyguard had left, Isobel’s eyes lingered on the exit through which Kyle had just vanished. She still sat in the same place on the end of his bed, tired, wan and faintly dispirited now that he had gone. When she eventual...
