I walked along the street one day to see what I could find, I looked for something interesting to stimulate my mind. When suddenly appeared before me right out from the sky, a funny-looking alien with three arms and one eye. He said to me "How do you do?" and tried to shake my hand, I jumped so far into the air I thought I'd never land. But when I did I held my breath and reached out with my arm, knowing that a handshake would never bring me harm. He shook my hand with suction cups and felt a little cold, I thought of how my friends would not believe I was so bold. After we were introduced he took me to his ship, and asked me if I'd like to take with him a little trip. I nervously agreed to go and worried about my mother, then thought again about getting even with my little brother. He too had said he'd met a man from way out in the stars, who took him to a place where eight-year-olds can drive in cars. So off we went up to the sky to places never seen, the alien was quite a guide (I'm glad he wasn't mean!). He showed me all the planets, from number one to nine, and showed me one we haven't found and said it could be mine. He took me to the dark side of the rock we call the moon, (It’s cold and dark and scary; I said, "We couldn't leave too soon!") Next, we circled 'round the sun which only took a minute, we got so close at one point that I thought we'd land right in it! The sun was hot the moon was cold and Earth looked really cool, but worried I became because I should have been in school. I told my friend the Alien "we should be getting back." he said to me in some strange tone "Aarf gargle giggle gack!" I guess he knew just what I meant for off to Earth we shot, he landed in the schoolyard; (I'll show you all the spot.) Then once again he shook my hand and simply said "goodbye", then jumped inside his spaceship, and flew up to the sky. This trip I took I won't forget and hope someday I'll see, my friend the Big Green Alien who was so kind to me.

You should really be published if you aren't already. These are very delightful and would be awesome reading for anyone, but especially for grade school age.

Thank you for saying so, Robert. I'm working toward that and have teamed up with Zach Clough to illustrate these stories over the next year. Any advice you have to offer will be much appreciated. Thank you! -Cary
