Containers

By on November 2, 2021

I mention containers quite often in my stories…because beings everywhere have always had the need to contain things-liquids, food, objects. (grins)

These early containers, displayed in the Altos de Chavon Regional Museum of Archaeology in La Romana, Dominican Republic, served as inspiration for some of the containers Quinn studies in B Free.

This container was quite large. It could have easily held water for a family.
This container, in contrast, was quite small. It looks like a gravy boat. (grins)
This could be easily held with one hand.
This container looked to be single serving size also
This platter would be large enough to hold the roasted roots for an entire family in one of my stories.

As per the sign…

“Chicoid Ceramics 800-1500 A.D.

Chicoid pottery is a product of the mixture of ceramic styles of the previous period. It originated on the island of Santo Domingo and from there spread to the current territories of Puerto Rico, Cuba, and the Bahamas.

The objects show a high degree of craftmanship, with a variety of receptacle decorated with geometric motifs and animal forms.

Bowls with handles decorated with bat an owl faces are very common in Taino ceramics from the eastern region of the island of Santo Domingo.”

B Free

B is the last remaining B Model cyborg. All of his brethren, the beings he trained with, fought with, cared deeply for, have perished.

Or so he believes.

When he intercepts a communication mentioning the existence of one of his kind, he has to investigate its source. The message could be a trap set by his enemies. He’ll take that risk if it secures him the companionship he requires to be fully functional.

What he finds is a daring brown-eyed female who activates all his systems. She proudly proclaims she’s a researcher, brandishing that information like a weapon before her. He wants to kiss the sass off her beautiful face, protect her from the dangers around them, claim her forever.

Quinn is on a quest to locate the mechanics of an early-version cyborg. She believes the information captured within that frame will give her valuable insights into the past.

When her mission goes zombie-like beings levels of wrong, she comes face-to-face with a living, breathing B Model. He has big hands, a primitive countenance, and stern hard lips crafted for kissing.

She doesn’t trust him. And she doesn’t have time to indulge her desires.

Their shared enemies are chasing them, would kill to get their precious specimens back. One minor mistake could reduce B and Quinn to a mere line in the databases of history.
