Cryoromance
“I’m still burning for Aliona!” Evan cried. “Not for long,” said the Lords before they locked two lovers together inside the intergalactic cryo chamber.
Punishment for love between people, in the world overpopulated with hungry people, was inescapable. Stuck in the moment of desire and hunger they were banished far from Earth, only to wander through the darkness of time and space, without enough food, to the unknown destination.
Out there, Evan was just a piece of frozen meat. Aliona was like a mantis in human form.
The last we heard, Evan was eaten alive during his deep hibernation sleep.
