Oh, don't tell me I'm first again? Where's everyone? I guess not on summer break like me, eh? Anyway, I wrote a tiny bit more of Chapter 7 - about a page or so - inserted some well-established Trek aliens instead of the never-to-be-seen-again extras from the Enterprise pilot and am quite pleased with the results.
Excerpt: Sandra feels the familiar rage pooling in her belly. It may have been Suzie who was abused by that bastard of a father, but the memory of it is still as vivid and painful as if it had happened to her. She can’t just sit here and watch another kind being tormented by its parent; not even if the kid looks like a catfish.
