Joyce and Walky!

Merry Christmas, have some Zombie Hooper!

When I first wrote the story of the astronauts of the U.S.S Destiny in elementary school, everyone was zombified when their space shuttle was hit by a meteor and subsequently floated into a black hole.  Here, it’s just Martian contact.  Martians, I might point out, which we have yet to see the full bodies of.  Here’s a small look, though!  It’s an arm!  Three-tentacled bug arm!

The Martian dialogue was created by running stuff through Babel Fish and back again.  Remember Babel Fish?  It’s like Google Translate but if Google Translate had since been absorbed and dissolved by Yahoo, or so … Google tells me.
