Juniper followed, she looked at her surroundings. The corridor was only three feet wide and almost seven feet high. The man, in front of her, filled the corridor. He was a man with the broadest shoulders, Juniper had ever seen. He wore a white linen shirt with tight blue cotton pants. His boots came up to mid calf. She liked what she had seen earlier and she now admired him from behind.
The other thing she liked, his height. From her vantage point he had maybe six inches before his head would touch the ceiling. She followed behind him but sometimes she had to jog a little bit to catch up. He opened another door, which looked like a carved out wall. Before the door were large cargo containers, Juniper watched the man walk around the cargo boxes. As she followed him she saw a large ship three stories tall and a couple football fields long by her first impression. She strode with the man up to the ship and up the loading ramp.
A woman who had long green hair and yellow skin greeted him. She hugged him. “You’re back.”
The man grabbed the woman’s hands and unwrapped them from his person. “Yes, you think I left permanently Lana?”
“Whose the girl?” the green haired woman asked.
“A new crew member.” He stated dryly. He turned to Juniper. “Come with me.” He ordered.
Standing there in the opening of a loading ramp a decision had to be made. Juniper knew she wanted off of this colony and away from her mistress but she did not know, so she asked, “What does becoming a crew member mean?”
