DG lowered the stick. There were a lot more of those men than there were of her, especially since it didn't look like Glitch would be any help. All she would do was make them even angrier than they were, and they'd probably treat their victims even worse. She sighed. That poor family. Wish I could've helped them.

Glitch suddenly brightened. "I know where I took a wrong turn before! Follow me and we'll get to the Road soon enough."

This time he was actually right. As they crossed through a barren area that obviously used to be farmland, they came across a poor creature webbed into some dead branches with a tough, organic material. Through the webbing they could just make out its whimpers of fear. "Huh," said DG, wishing she had a knife to rescue it with. "You know, Glitch, I don't think I like this O.Z. of yours very much."

"That's all right, DG," said Glitch. "You're not going to have to worry about it any longer. For that matter, neither am I." He pointed.

A silent group of Papay had gathered around them.

DG, Glitch, and Raw were all very delicious, and the Papay were happy... for a while.



THE END
