FOUR SPECIES OF HUMAN Evolution is a bitch. Nearly all the time.
Only … on rare occasions … evolution gets to change her mind.
A reminder of that fact nearly plowed into Gerald, darting from a side corridor. Barely avoiding collision, the small figure windmilled, legs flying in the weird way that one “fell” in a centrifugal gravity wheel, tumbling toward the floor at a slant. Gerald’s hand shot out, grabbing a fistful of wildly braided hair, eliciting a shriek.
“Hey now, Ika. What’s your hurry?
...
The girl was short—barely into adolescence—but hardly petite. Stocky and strong, when her hand clenched Gerald’s arm he had a sense that she could snap it. Ika made that point by squeezing, in a playful way that hurt just a bit.
“Cap’n Gerry!” Her pale legs whirled around red-striped shorts, twisting to meet the floor on agile tiptoes. Gerald released her braid, though the child kept her vicelike grip on his arm for a second longer, as her face passed his—somehow looking cute and pixielike, despite almost masculine ridges over hooded eyes.
