This story doesn’t fit the typical sci-fi mold of far future, evil aliens, dystopian Earth. It’s a story of self-discovery, with an alien and some advanced technology.

Your writing has the voice of a good storyteller sitting with friends reminiscing about events in real life.

Great story! Kept me coming back. A good mixture of science, action, and philosophizing. It reminds me a bit of Asimov’s writing.

Too much sci-fi focuses on hard-to-imagine technology. Nothing in your stories requires a high understanding of technology or astronomy. And the lyrics are great — girl with an attitude.

I love the narrative voice — down-to-earth, strong, and funny. And how could I pass by the title?

I love the parts where the alien sings along with the narrator. Very touching.

Your characters’ personalities and voices are strong and clear, even the little alien who doesn’t say a word in English. I connect with Breadbox.

You have a wonderful way with words and tell a great story. With your insight I might just think you’ve had some meetings with ‘special Aliens.’
