they would have all perished.
    Then the reason they were here hit her fully. She was about to leave Earth behind and go and live on another planet. A planet far away, and as far as she knew there were no return tickets, so she would never see her friends again. Never see Thomsk’s kids grow up, or be held in the comforting arms of Sybil again.
    As her feet made contact with the hard ramp, each step she took towards the ship was a step away from her old life. A sensation of homesickness swept over her, and she turned to take one last look at the wild storm still raging behind her and tried to tell herself she would not miss it. But she would. Earth was her home; she loved it and would miss it, along with the people.
    “Here.” The Karalian, Garth, held out his hand to her and she took it, suddenly exhausted, all the adrenaline that had kept her going now draining away, leaving her empty.
    “Thank you,” she said. “Thank you both.” She looked from one huge man to the other, wondering which one was hers.
    “Our pleasure,” Okil said, and then to Garth, “Let’s get on to solid ground, shall we?”
    “I hope you haven’t sunk in the sand,” she said, full of concern now the immediate danger was over. This might cause an intergalactic problem if she had caused a Karalian space ship to become stuck on Earth.
    “It’s hovering at present.” Okil smiled reassuringly.
    “Let’s hope it can still manage to hover with the extra weight,” Garth grumbled, and Tamzin sure hoped he wasn’t her future alien boyfriend.
    She watched him go down a corridor and into a room filled with controls; she guessed that was the helm of the ship, or whatever it was they called it. “I’ll go join the others.”
    Okil stood back out of the way, watching her as she went into the cargo hold to be greeted by the others, and then he went to join Garth.
    “How are you all?” Tamzin asked.
    “Jealous of you, my girl,” Sybil said. “Both of those guys can sweep me off my feet any time of day and fly me off to their planet.”
    Tamzin tried to smile, but she couldn’t. “I’m scared.”
    “Of course you are, honey, but they can give you a better life. Much better than you can ever hope for on this old rock.” Sybil reached out and squeezed her hand reassuringly. “I know your mom would be watching you and be so pleased you are going to have clean air, good food, and a man to take care of you.”
    “I don’t need a man, Sybil. And I’m going to miss you all so much.”
    “And we’re going to miss you,” Thomsk said. “But you sure as hell aren’t staying here with us, even if I have to knock you over the head and tie you up. When this space ship leaves, you are going with it.”
    She felt as if her decision was being made for her. Had she given up her free choice? Yes, the moment she entered the lottery she had given herself over to chance, and for once in her life chance was smiling on her. So why did she feel so miserable?
    The space ship was moving. The group of humans in the cargo hold all sat down clinging to each other to stop themselves been flung around. Now they were moving; the wind buffeted them, and the ship swayed, but at least they weren’t stuck in the sand. That was what she kept telling herself as she came to terms with her fate.
    They were right. She would go to Karal and be happy. For them .
    “When we stop, I’m going to give you everything out of my pack. I have my last coin from the company,” she said quietly to Sybil.
    “Honey, give it to Thomsk, he needs it more. I would hate to see those two kids starving in the street.”
    “OK.” Tamzin looked across to where the big man, Thomsk, had one arm wrapped around each of his children. That would be her fate soon enough; an alien would impregnate her with his seed and she would conceive an alien child. Another wave of nerves hit her and she was back to knowing this was wrong and she couldn’t do it, she couldn’t leave Earth.
    “We’ve
