Aliens, Cyborgs And Mardi Gras by @CynthiaSax

by Cynthia Sax

If there are aliens among us here on Earth, I suspect some of them are in New Orleans today, enjoying Mardi Gras. Mardi Gras, viewed as a celebration of life, features floats and brightly colored costumes. Folks might wear face paint and sparkle and wild looking wigs. They might act out-of-the-ordinary, tossing beads at others, as one example. 

The unusual is perceived as usual. The fantastical fits in.

Aliens can be themselves in New Orleans today. Their blue skin or antennas or extra body parts will be assumed to be part of their costumes. A ship might be viewed as a float, an elaborate prop. As Mardi Gras in New Orleans attracts humans from all over the world, the aliens can speak their home planet’s language and not be noticed.

Much of the ‘action’ happens at night. Aliens can watch from the shadows, disappear into them if they believe they’ve been spotted. As a Sci Fi Romance writer, events like Mardi Gras can serve as great inspiration for stories or settings for these stories. That strange ‘human’ my friend encountered last year? I’m almost certain he was an alien. We’ll never know because, when she looked around for him, he had vanished.

I know for certain there will be at least one cyborg celebrating Mardi Gras in New Orleans today. How do I know this? According to Wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyborg ), a cyborg is “a being with both organic and biomechatronic body parts.” That makes many of our wounded warriors technically cyborgs. About 1.4 million people attend Mardi Gras in New Orleans each year. I hope at least one of those guests will be a wounded warrior, one of our present day heroes. 

There could also be a more machine-like futuristic cyborg joining the celebration, a being similar to the heroes in my cyborg romances. Although he might have silver metallic skin and bright blue eyes, not many people will look twice at him, not when he’s standing next to a tall sparkled-covered human female bedecked in hundreds of beads.

Yep, there might be some off-world beings attending Mardi Gras today.

What other Earth-based events are perfect for aliens and cyborgs to attend and fit into? Have you ever wondered that a being you just encountered wasn’t from this world?

Choosing Chuckles

A Cynical Cyborg Meets A Bad, Bad Female.

Chuckles hates all humans. In the past, humans betrayed him. That treachery caused permanent damage to his muscular form, resulting in a lifespan of pain.

When the primitive D Model cyborg answers a distress call sent by a pink-and-blue haired, sparkly human female, he knows it’s a trap. He still has to respond to her fake cry for help. She belongs to him, is the one being genetically fabricated for him. But he plans to be her captor, not her captive.

Bettina, aka Bait, works with a team of females, snaring sexual predators in space, seizing their ships and transporting them to primitive planets. As soon as she speaks with Chuckles, she knows he’s not like the others. He has honor, is a being worthy of respect, of caring.

But she can’t let him go. She has to trap him. His dominance thrills her. His deep voice evokes desires she’d never experienced in the past. She’ll risk it all, breaking every rule for one wild encounter with the male she calls Sir.
