The Translation Games have become a fixed feature in our international issues. This year, we found a wonderful Drabble that fits the theme. We asked around in the big old orange world of Wattpad for translators and let them translate the story. You can find the results distributed throughout this issue. But let's start with the original (audio version in the chapter header).


Dinner Date

By sdvale

It comes from the space between worlds to destroy. Elegant, tentacled, sublime in power, slithering up the stairs. Quiet house, quiet night. It smells their humanness, their fragile blood-pumping hearts. Where have they gone?

Another smell distracts from the hunt. Tantalizing, teasing, utterly alluring. A plate on the counter and on it—another tentacled creature? Pale, thin, knotted, smothered in red and pulverized meat as though it has torn apart the humans, then soaked in the glorious mess.

It can't read the note that says: Spaghetti Night!

Excitement thrills through the destroyer. Or is it bloodlust? Rage? No... it's love.
