Barsoom ur jan1/8/2024 ![]() “There is another,” she exclaimed presently, “and there, and there, and there.” I caught a glimpse of a great body slinking in the shadows and all about us, as I turned, I saw blazing eyes. She cast affrighted glances in all directions. There was a hideous, bloodcurdling scream as the eyes disappeared. I picked a blazing brand from the fire and hurled it at the intruder. From the dense shadows just beyond the firelight, two blazing eyes were flaming. I turned in the direction that she indicated. Suddenly she tensed, her eyes widened in fright. The yellow flames illuminated her fair skin, imparted a greenish tinge to her blue hair, awakened slumberous fires in her languorous eyes.
