Six Sentence Sunday 7-1-2012

Excerpt from Moons' Kiss, available in paperback and ebook from Amazon.com (In the Yatren language, "cor-anda" means "man-thing.")
How long had they been gone?  Not even a fortnight, and the ordeal continued.
Manerra rolled onto his uninjured hip, pulled a cushion under his head, and stared at the back of the blanketed figure snoring across from him.  Sand-colored hair was all he could see of the cor-anda.
It hadn’t had the decency to die.  Instead, it had defiled their living quarters.
