Mantis by Matthew A. Clarke

5.0

This story is beautiful, a beautiful love story between Jacoboby and Millie, a giant Mantis.

But as most love story goes, there is always something, Jacoboby's mom for instance. She run's the SMK, aka Super Mantis Killas, and they kill Mantis People. See, some humans turn into manti people and some people have a hard time accepting this. Racism and violence makes it hard for the manti people to live a normal live. Jacoboby used to kill Manti people. Until his girlfriend Millie changes. And then is world view changes. And now he is on the run.

This bizarro fiction is an amazing story of love, racism, loyalty, and gnomes. Yes - gnomes.

I loved this story so much. And in the end you'll ask yourself: how far am I willing to go for love? Would I sacrifice my body parts for love?
