SHATTER
“Welcome to the crew!” The words continued to ring in Mot’s ears. He still could not believe that his Uncle had signed him up for this kind of work. His Mom had been so excited for him. She was quite glad that he now had a job, and looked forward to him working on later getting his own place. Sure she was okay with having her second born child at home, but a mother needed some privacy~ ya know. Mot had noticed how his Mom, and Mr. Grid had been spending so much time together lately. He later found out from one of the older ladies from down the street that sometimes when Mot was out with his friends, or went on a long weekend getaway/vacation, Mr. Grid would stay, get comfy, even carry some stuff over at Mot’s home, and stay over not only during the day, but overnight, too (as the senior buddy of his put it). This kind of worried Mot he told his close friend, Roti, about it, and Roti burst out laughing. He had told Mot to start preparing to call Mr. Grid, ‘‘Papa.’’ At that remark Mot squinted his eyes, and glared at Roti. Not that he didn’t like Mr. Grid, he just did not want to see his Mom get hurt again. The others guys she had been only wanted to use her, and they did not care if they broke her in the process of using her. Now maybe if he worked hard at his job, he would be able to take care of his Mom, and she would not have to be with Mr. Grid. Mot knew his Mom needed help with a lot of bills, but he did not want Mr. Grid to be the one to help with that. His older sibling was traveling, and was somewhere in another galaxy. Mot would have to be the one to try to save his Mom, and be her knight in shining armor. Now he just had to concentrate on his work. Not stared at the piles, and heaps of creatures lying on the mahogany floor. Their boss had been at it again. This time most of the bones of these beastlings had been shattered. Mot felt shivers go down his spine. He definitely did not want to ever be caught in a room alone with the one, and only Daemon Queen. She looked kinda human, but everyone at work even the transients knew not to mess around with Sasha.
