5 AM, A FEW DAYS LATER...

Alex and Dana sat on the edge of a skyscraper, overlooking Times Square. Neither of them bothered with hiding their tentacles, and both of their sets had begun to experimentally nibble at each other's. Dana smiled. The tentacles had initially repulsed her, but now she saw them as kind of cute, like an inquisitive pet. Alex, for his part, was quietly brooding. Dana tapped him with the back of her hand.

"C'mon!" she said, pleadingly. "You need to get out more. Visit a bar, dismember some guys, have a hell of a time, y'know?" Alex chuckled slightly.

"A little while ago you were vomiting into a sink. Now you're telling me to dismember people?" He shook his head, smiling. "How the times have changed." Dana blushed slightly.

"Well, it takes a while to adjust," she said, a little humbly. "But it's actually kinda fun, really. Not to mention tasty." Dana stood up, sliding the tentacles back into her body. Alex took her hand, and after standing up, the two looked at the blood-red sun for quite a while. Eventually, Dana turned to Alex.

"Well, come on. Let's go get someone to eat."

Bankruptcy Of The Author's Note: Yeah, the epilogue's short. DEAL. Sequel's up and running, though there have been delays of several months between posts. Sorry if I got your hopes up with the Story Alert. s/6767118/1/Gods_Among_Men
