Lilith Basketball Story (Patreon)

"But it's for the art club, Lilith!" replied Ana, "there's no way we can make 1000 pictures an hour like that thing, so we have to outball it. And you're the tallest one of us."

"Plus," Ana continued, "And don't tell anyone I told you this, but..."

Ana leaned in real close to Lilith's ear.

"You've got the hunger."

"WHAT DOES THAT MEAN!!" yelled Lilith, distraught.

"SH SH SH SHH SHhhhhh," said Ana.

"You've got the hunger."

"I'M NOT HUNGRY!!!!"

Before Lilith could process what Ana could've possibly meant by that, she was already at the half court line, blocked by Aiako's 8 ever-shifting robotic arms and stupid little cat smile.

Lilith looked down at the ball she was dribbling, inhaled deeply, and exhaled slowly. Then back up at Aiako.

"A-all of those arms..." she said with a quivering voice, her eyes gliding across each of the arms.

"... AND STILL ONLY TWO LEGS."

And then Lilith balled.
