She was tall, with a long black wavy mane that came most the way down her back.While her tight black leather jeans almost came up to meet, except for a narrow band of pure ivory skin. Those, plus a cropped knit top and an opened shorf jacket, drew all eyes to her in the backwoods bar.Only the jukebox continued any noise, beating out a worn country music classic.She had come to see me. Perhaps to help with my simple request. Because I needed assistance...

I knew exactly why I was still here. To haunt whoever had pushed me overboard.
My only problem was finding them. And, if they weren't still alive, they had relatives.
Meanwhile, I kept amused by haunting the ship's passengers and crew. And, the cruise line didn't have a problem with it. Their "haunted cruises" were a big hit. Full capacity for this old boat and its evening dinner cruises out beyond the harbor.
"Misstep Mary" they called me. Even...

I'd been left out here, alone. By an oil-burning lamp. In the cold, uncaring desert.
It was my only comfort until dawn.
Just dawn started bringing the earliest glimmer of what I could see with my human eyes, I woke to some snuffling sound near my head.
Opening my eyes, not relishing the hot day coming, I saw the nose of an animal near my face.
"Rise, little one."
I sat up. And, saw eye-to-eye with a female coyote.
She was not young. Scars crisscrossed...

Not really her fault - or I hoped, anyway.
You see, she's brilliant, powerful - and a shapeshifting cat who rules Ancient Egypt.
That last part doesn't bother me, as long as she's human at least part of the time. Otherwise, royal consorts have some benefits, too.
She brought me here with my own machine. And, then it disappeared. Stolen. And, now we're marooned. But, that doesn't matter....

Uninhabited. uninhabitable.
Yet this one woman stayed there. This was her new home, she repeated stubbornly. She wasn't leaving. Even though it meant eventual death.
If the warring armies didn't...
