Making Babies
'It was a freak accident; a million to one freak. The Force wanted to punish the twelve women because of the way they had denigrated the town's name. It caused their bus to have a blowout, and sent it down a slope into some bushes. The women were shaken up, but none were injured. However, a big rock had ripped the gas tank off. Sixty gallons of gas bounced down the slope and hit the bus like a napalm bomb. Fire is the one thing The Force can't control. The men wanted to abandon the town. Matt couldn't allow that, because of the old curse on his family, so he got The Force to promise it would provide each of the bereaved males with a baby. We just needed some females. Ones we could get to breed. 'Karen was first. She was a drifter, just like you. Her two pregnancies went so smooth she's more'n happy with the life she now has. So we didn't stop to think when you came along.' A sad shake of his head at the way things had turned out, and all the deaths that had occurred as a result. 'Biggest mistake we could've made. No-one in town had ever met a gun-toting female as feral as you.'
