The Ostrich Race
by Tony Chandler
The ostrich was nervous, and Buck Brannan couldn't blame him. Shoot, he was nervous
too.
But it was the big bird that had the Mark VI 'Ram-Jets' strapped snug around its feathered
body. Still, the rocket pack would put them on an equal footing with the Drakan warrior and
his swift six-winged mount.
Buck rubbed the two-day stubble on his chin.
He was standing on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon staring at the first auburn rays of the
morning sun in a cloudless sky, dressed out in his protective suit complete with helmet.
Strapped to his waist was his trusty blaster, the equal to the Drakan's weapon.
And of course, he had a water-gun. After all, the fate of planet Earth was in the balance."
This is the third time this month," Buck said to Charles Hart, Leader of Section Three. And
his Team Commander for the race.
"We must meet each challenge," Charles replied.
Buck rolled his eyes. "But why us? Why is it always Earth? Why can't it be Aurelias III, or
Cygnus Prime? Or even little Xara Cita?!" His eyes narrowed with anger. "Is it our water
they want? Or some rare and precious metal?" Buck growled under his breath. But he knew
the terrible answer even as Commander Hart spoke.
"There's an 'acute and universal' shortage of babes. You know that. It's bigger than just a
single planet's fate."
The two men stared at each other.
"You must understand how serious this thing is," Charles said.
"That's more responsibility than any one man should have on his shoulders," Buck shouted.
"You're the best. You're all we have."
Buck looked away, moisture forming in his gray eyes. "What if I fail?"
"It's too terrible to even contemplate." Charles shook his head.
"Tell me," Buck whispered.
Charles sighed deeply with the enormity of the tragic thought. "Beautiful wives everywhere...
gorgeous girl-friends. Leggy models. And especially young and stunning actresses ... and
singers·." A somber pause filled the air. "...will be gone. Forever."
"You don't mean!!!" Buck shouted angrily.
"Yes, the only date you and I would be able to get after such a catastrophe would be with
rather 'ugly' dames. IF we were lucky."
"We can't let that happen," Buck spat with vehemence.
