The Face Changer - A Steemit Exclusive Sci-Fi Story. Space Pirates! Cats! Assassins!
The Face Changer
By T. Dalton
Mikayle spooned the man he’d picked up the night before, groaning from the incessant knock at the door. He stumbled out of the bed and fell from the hangover. The room was small and he was liable to bang his head on the metal. There wasn’t much room for him on The Mandrake. The knocking continued. Mikayle pressed the opener and the door slid to the side. Denis, a fellow bounty hunter, stood waiting.
“God, you’re such a faggot,” Denis said with laughter, looking him over.

I had intended to take a step back on this contest, but I read the prompt and I couldn't help it. It was too ridiculous and fun to not participate!
The prompts were:
#1 the story must include Space Pirates
#2 The story must include a talking cat
#3 the story must include the sentence - “he was wearing baby pink long johns”
And there you have it, folks.

Nice twist at the end. I have to ask why the cat didn't vaporize the people trying to steal him in the first place though? :)
can a cat fly an old spaceshp?
Fair enough 🙂 That lack of opposable thumbs is a real bugger 😂
