I see my full message got cut short like Heidi's. So I'll make it quick. ABSOLUTELY A WORK OF GENIUS!!!!!!

Devon!!! Just stumbled on this. I've been out of touch lately for no particular reason. Blame old age. My mind has just been drifting away from computer things. Need to write you. I know.... I know... Will soon. THIS STORY IS INCREDIBLE!!! Stupendous. I had no idea where it was going. The idea of getting conditioned to friendly monstrosities by using a small one in a jar is nothing s

Devon, I give up here...this isn't working right...the rest is on PWR

Part III The only depressing thing about it is the fact that it took creatures from another world to get the job done right, how pathetic are we that we can342200231t do that ourselves? Greed sucks. No matter, if that342200231s what it takes342200246bring on the spider aliens! So, socialism isn342200231t all that bad if it342200231s handled correctly. I don342200231t really understand why so many people appear to be afraid of that word. Perhap

Devon, Ok...I'll try to add more here but I put the whole thing over on PWR as well. There seems to be a limit here now or something Part II without all of the unnecessary death and destruction that accompanies so many other ET-based tales. I naturally read through this story waiting for the other shoe to drop, as you noted. I was delighted to be treated to such a happy ending from you. The

Heidi, Now on my home page, but not here, is a bit more of your message ending in "how pat" I really would like to see the whole thing. Try again. Devon

Heidi, Great to hear from you again! I owe you a PM. Glad the story lifted your spirits, but I would like to see the end of the message. Your final words are "without a" and then nothing. You may have to do it in two posts like I did for you once. Devon

Devon, not sure if my entire message is being posted. Let me know if it really is getting cut off and I'll post the rest again. Heidi

Devon, I just read this, and I have not read through the reviews here or elsewhere yet so forgive me if I repeat anything. You got me again with this one. The ending was entirely unexpected. I've had kind of a funky week, so I needed to read something like this to lift my spirits a bit. Finally! The human race is given the opportunity to live peacefully side by side with an alien race without a

Goddess, Another good insight. I meant it to be read that way. Devon

today i am looking at this story as a message of hope for the future.

Thanks Kym, Cheryl, Dani. I'll thank you all at once. The whole "different" angle you all mentioned is what I was striving for. The reverse of the usual "alien invasion" theme. I like the idea of world leaders being snubbed too and a convicted felon being the main contactee. I love it when my stories are understood. Devon

Kym Star

Your stuff should all go to "fan fiction"! I find myself waiting for your next story or essay. Really neat writing here. Dittoes to the originality angles. I wish these Invader Spiders would come tomorrow. KYM

Cheryl Adencher

Well ain't this a weird one! Spider-aliens come to earth and start department stores and build cars. Really unique plot. Liked how this started too. Liked how they didn't care about world leaders and chose a crook to front for them. The ending makes it a very different *invasion* I give it (!!)
