Ah, love the ending! It would indeed be quite creepy to see them at night when one is still half asleep. (Have to admit I am with you on the Sci-Fi stuff, find it boring and pointless.). Well written.

Delighted you liked it!
I purposely classified it as a thriller to mislead the reader--one reviewer dinged me for technical reasons.

Ah my sympathies. I was downgraded by someone for classifying a nonfiction as fiction or vice versa. Had just forgotten to check. Very legalistic!
-
I never ding someone--I just point it out. The same guy told me I shouldn't classify my quickies as flash fiction because they weren't stories--I told him that I used flash as a hook--i.e. to signal to a potential reader that the piece is short (and thus forestall skips).

You really had me worried for a while...How was I going to respond to the legitimacy of the "sightings" while not insulting you? It was a relief to see how it ended. A very enjoyable, entertaining, well crafted story.

Thank you!
This story is basically true--I used my imagination only as regards trivial details.
Comment from Sharon Davis
Well done.
The serious tone of the first part of the story, referencing well known science fiction movies and books, engages the reader, who becomes intrigued by the purported alien visitation relayed to you by family members.
Then humour kicks in. Great surprise ending.
You had this reader fooled.

Hence the silence of empty speech bubbles. Funny tale, well told. Did the husband's bladder hold up or did he piss himself with fright? I'm also left wondering why 3 balloons - for the big three-0, or is there a child in the house?

He won't admit to pissing himself.

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
This is funny, Liz. So many people used to claim abductions that it became joke. You did a good job leading up to the twist at the end. The art choice works well, too. You are a talented writer in many genres, although I don't remember much sci fi.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan
