Once again your masterful use of the whimsical, Bewildering and the weird has led to a triumph in wascally witing. Great job! Please write more Amazing stories for the sake of all dudes and dudettes galaxywide!

Wow! Apparently Michele has been taking the correspondence course from the Charlie Sheen School of Bi-winnerism! Then again, I'm not sure what 'witing' is. Something to do with cosmetic dentistry?

Great story, great setting. A nice use of facts associated with aliens and UFOs. I liked the story; it was entertaining from start to finish, and character development excellent----all characters came alive to me as I read.

I really can’t nit-pick with any parts of the story, and I can’t see how any changes would improve it. She balances out all the techniques needed in story telling, and that is an art in itself. Nice sentence structure, varied sentence lengths, good word choices, and believable dialogue.

Good one!!!

Only two questions: How much did the aliens win at the casino? And what game do they like?

I'm afraid that the little grey guys are going to have to walk-up, introduce themselves and then bite me on the patootie before I give such claims much credence.

Be careful your own self, Bill -- they might be venomous!

We can't eat 'em.

Pity, really. I bet they don't taste like chicken.

If they can breathe our air, there's a good chance we could eat 'em . . . even if they're toxic, we could let the Japanese sushi chefs have a go at it -- they figured out how to handle fugu, after all . . .
