Little Alien Encounters

Socially prominent and media darlings, the world thinks their lives are a fairytale. It is, but not the way people think. Larry is used to hiding the cruel way he’s treated, blamed for any and every thing that doesn’t go the way his mother and three older siblings want them too. His sole comfort is his stuffed dog, Mr. Bingles, his collection of vintage sci fi toys, and the imaginary daddy he pretends cares and loves him.

When the family housekeeper accidentally discovers Stone’s love for horses and ponies aren’t restricted to the live animals like the ones on the family ranch, she tells his family. Stone soon finds out just how justified his fears over discovery were.

When the new tech startup hired him, Mark was ecstatic. However, his excitement quickly faded when the company unexpectedly laid him off, along with most of the staff, two years later. Seeking solace, he confides in the building's doorman about his mounting troubles. Little did he expect to be asked if he wanted someone to swoop in and solve all of his problems. And he certainly didn't anticipate being abducted by aliens while sitting in his living room playing a game later that night.

When Koo finds himself stranded out in the middle of nowhere in the dark of night, he’s grateful to the kindly trucker who picks him up. Discovering that the guy’s an alien? Mind blowing. Finding out that accepting rescue means he’s now on his way to outer space? Despite it all, absolutely exciting and he can’t wait to see what comes next thanks to the Intergalactic Rescue contractors he finds himself on a flying saucer with.

Tired of only being liked for his money, Dave had decided to make people take notice of him because of who he was. The problem was, that a guy who liked to go on bike rides through the neighborhood he lived in and occasionally the nearby park and spent the rest of his time watching cartoons and reading adventure and fantasy stories written for children was not someone particularly noteworthy. At least, it didn’t seem to be. But a guy who went on real adventures straight out of stories, well, that was a whole other matter.

The last twenty years he’d spent on earth were the best years of his life. And that was saying something, seeing as he’d lived in the lap of luxury his entire life. Still, he’d known that he couldn't keep working for Intergalactic Rescue forever and that his father was going to retire from the head of the family business someday. He’d simply expected a little more of a head’s up that he needed to pack up his Earthly affairs and head back to Polonia to take over.
