Just a couple of things.



So, that was the revelation. The climate changing device intended to bring about global cooling, though not exactly plunging Earth into an ice age still reducing the entire planet to little more than an Arctic wasteland. How, you ask, given the spherical nature of the planet and the impact that has on how the sun's rays strike its surface and give it warmth. Well I kinda meant to mention it but it just didn't really fit in at the time. It's to do with altering the Earth's atmosphere. Kinda like thickening the Ozone layer up so far less sun gets through. Like a reverse greenhouse effect. But it doesn't matter. The main point is, I planned that from the start and it has nothing whatsoever to do with the discussion we had on global warming. An annoying coincidence.

Secondly, regarding this concept of alien life arriving on Earth in much earlier times (Which in bitemarks is manifested by Skarletta being here so long ago that her direct 'descendents' 'evolve' to become successively weaker forms of her that we know today as vampires). This is not a new concept. I'm probably not the first to mix vampires in with this early alien visitation theory either. And what's more, who says it's just a theory? I'm not the first to point out the sheer unlikelihood of Earth being the only planet in the universe capable of holding life.

That's a stone carving done in around 10'000BC or so I was told, discovered at Val Camonica, Italy. Is that some form of space helmet? Or an animal skull? Who knows.
This picture too shows engravings from the same place.

And what about this one from Tassili N'Ajjer in Algeria circa 6000BC?

There's probably more too. Is it really coincidence that even 8000 years ago the 'flying saucer' existed as a concept? I just thought you might be interested in seeing those.

    What? That's it? That was the ending? :o

    No showdown in the Arctic Ice? Just an alien dropping into the sea and losing her precious spacy device?

    Well, i feel cheated.

    You are such a good writer but your endings ... Ugh ... Feels like a coitus interuptus *blinks*

    Please say this is not the end.

    Apart from the ending? Bitemark rocked. It was even better than Bitesize. *Thumbs up*

    Hmm the poll is already closed, but i would vote Bitemarks as a:

    SUCCESS!

    I was very entertained. Thanks for the fun Charon :) I am looking forward to read more shortstories like this at some point.
