“I think you’ll find it indecent but it’s the only reasonable one: in order to convince the people who organized this show that we are one species we’ll have to have sex!”
Laura snorted contemptuously:
“I thought for sure that’s what you’d be thinking!”
“If you have another solution, I’ll gladly accept it!” I said and a heavy silence fell between us. However, he too died in the course of the afternoon… Or until they got hungry. Nor a raft to retreat to the middle of the lake. After pooling in a sort of trough, it spilled over its edges into the lake on whose shore I had awakened. With the lion snarling at our feet, only her and her – otherwise quite appetizing – curves didn’t burn me anymore. Beneath me – as under the lion, for that matter – was golden sand, and when I looked up, a few meters away from us I saw the blue water of a lake from which a crocodile was sleepily poking its head. She looked around indecisively, as if searching for a bench to sit on.
