Well done! You had me. I was vested in your telling as I have similar Star Trek, Star Wars, and E.T. experiences and outlooks. And then, who hasn't had the attack of the helium balloons.

    Delighted you liked it!

You wrote that the visitation was possibly indubitable since Nancy and Robert experienced it together. Is it not also possible that they may have shared the same drug? hahaha! I'm sorry, I couldn't resist it.
It was good writing no matter if true or false. And I like the image of the ten-foot aliens holding balloons.

Star Trek was a must for me, even though I found Captain Kirk to be an overbearing, pompous arse. But your story is just a scream! Almost scared the beejeepers out of me.

I have a few real-life alien stories and if I can put aside my ennui for a couple of minutes, I might actually write one of them up, one of these days, maybe. On second thought ... ;-)

Great job, LIZ. :))

I've also never had much interest in Sci-fi. And my date for the original Star Wars was a bore on steroids.
But how disappointing that your sister's ET visitation turned out to be balloons! When you said that your sister and brother-in-law experienced an alien encounter, I said to myself, be still my heart, be still. There really are space people, or whatever they are. Balloons??? What a letdown.
But in typical Liz fashion, you succeeded in tantalizing the reader and creating suspense right up to the final sentence. Great story!

    What technical reasons??
    Some people need to work on their life.

LOL!!! Liz, you really had me going then! I believe there is life on other planets, some more intelligent than humans. (Our Prime Minister and his cabinet, for a start!) And some still very young planets that have intellingence on par with us or less. To believe otherwise is to be so egotistical. I really enjoyed reading your story, well done, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

That's hilarious! I was beginning to think that your sister and her husband actually encountered something. I'm glad they experienced it together. I guess I was a trekkie/trekker so I feel comfortable with the genre but I don't go out of my way to read it now.

This is fun from start to finish. First, you want your reader to make sure that they knew that you are not a fan of Star Trek and other space fantasy pictures (I am). Then you let your reader know that you are intrigued by "true" stories of close encounters.
Then the fun begins.
You tell of your sister and her husband's close encounter to reel in your reader but their encounter turned out to be birthday balloons.
Very clever and fun.
Regards,
Mary

I really REALLY tried to guess where you were going with this! Nice wind up! Great form! Perfect sleep set right past my wiffle ball bat!

Serious hard ball humor....I was NOT prepared!

Very funny!

    Technical reasons? REALLY? I saw his review...

    I do not agree.

    Misdirection was THE POINT!

Hmm, you are a good first person biographical writer. I would say that is your specialty. With this Horror thriller posting, the writing takes on your familiar style, and it is almost as if at the last moment you remembered this was supposed to be a horror story.

Now, I'm not criticizing your writing talent, and I know honesty isn't always wanted on FanStory, but I don't think you deserve less than what you paid for, the truth.

This posting has no horror or thriller in it. It is mostly commentary and not an actual a 'show me don't tell me' story.

My recommendations for fixing it:

You can rewrite it, as a story with all the needed elements, plot, characters, intro, body, and resolution.

Or just relabel as non fiction bio or commentary.

This rating does not count towards story rating or author rank.
The highest and the lowest rating are not included in calculations.
