"Violent Horizons" is a #SciFi twisted take on the classic tale of Pinocchio by Sam Clover.
Silas has lived with his lover Eshan on a remote space station for as long as he can remember. Eshan takes care of Silas' sexual needs, which keeps him happy. But then, one day, the station is boarded by a man hell-bent on finding something he thinks Eshan has. The man kills Eshan and thinks he's killed Silas, but the young man somehow survives and finds himself on a planet occupied primarily by lizard-like refugees. Loc has seen his share of battles, mostly with humans. He lost one eye in one of those fights. He shouldn't give a second thought to the scared young man he spots on the street, but Loc can't quite stop himself from helping the frightened Silas. It might be a case of no good deed going unpunished.
