    Mardi Gras saved Toorie Slito had been sitting in the same chair for hours‚ zoned out staring into the huge orange ball that illuminated his land; his land had been deemed Toorie. Slito himself was a tall‚ slender Toorian; he had strikingly attractive features and a domineering presence.

I spun round in a quick one hundred and eighty degree turn to try and check if anyone had seen me make my escape or if anyone had been approaching to try and stop my quick climb over the small tattered aluminium fence held loosely by a few loose nails and screws. It seemed that today was going to be one of the few lucky days where my planned escape
