Grut, the Cruel

Just a while ago I was in my car in Nevada. Now I'm on another planet and sitting in a cage—in front of some aliens who are clearly eyeing me a little bit too curiously. Then another alien saves me. A Horgerian called Grut, the Cruel, of all things. What a concerning name. He's convinced that I'm part of some kind of test in which he has to prove himself worthy of a bride. But for that he has to take care of me—like I'm a damn Tamagotchi. So I have been taken from my home to end up as consolation prize? Great. Just great! Slightly dark alien romance with a happy ending.
