Redeemer

Stuck on an alien planet with no means of escape. I can’t say I’ve been in worse situations.

It’s my nature to try to look on the bright side and remain positive in the face of adversity. Even when everything seems to be going completely crazy.

My resolve is tested when I’m taken by an alien who looks like a demon. He’s primal and aggressive – but when my life is in danger, he surges to my rescue.

I get small glimpses that there’s something more to him, convincing me he’s simply a wounded animal unsure how to respond to kindness. He’s keeping things from me, not only why I’m on this planet, but also about himself.

Is he a victim too?

With all of this to consider, why is it that when I try to think of ways to thank him for helping me, my mind only goes in one direction? I’m inexperienced and feel it’s wrong to have these indecent thoughts.

As desire heaves through me, I wonder, does he want to give into it like I do?
