      COLLECTIVUM

      BY MIKE LEWIS

      ILLUSTRATED BY SMITH

      The Oren were one and their strength was legion. They had it all figured out, in their own parasitical, cold-blooded way. But they'd neglected one she-cat of a girl....

      He crossed the rickety bridge at sundown and saw the squat, fat fellow whipping the girl with a board. His mind leaped to a conclusion: an Orenian prowler, convincing his victim to hold still. He clubbed the fat fellow with a rock and toppled him over the seawall into the lagoon where he floated face-down.

      Are you stung? he asked the girl.

      She picked herself up weakly, and she was a gold-bronze beauty with a black mane of hair and long, narrow eyes. She shook her head to his question and whimpered slightly while she examined her bruises.

      He was my husband, she explained.

      Not an Orenian? he gasped.

      She shook her head. But he was going to kill me.

      I leapt to a bad conclusion.

      "That he was an Orenian? He would have been, soon. Besides—you have to leap to conclusions nowadays, to stay alive."

      You don't seem to worry.

      I told you, he was going to kill me.

      Why?

      Because— She paused and stared out across the twilight water, gathering a slow frown. Because he was crazy.

      Morgan's eyes flickered
