Comment from Karen Cherry Threadgill
I did not know that blind contest entries do not end up in our mailboxes. This is good. I loved it. Especially that last bit. And, I just knew it was you who wrote Pop the cherry. I thought at first it might have been Ric, but he would not have me drag around a tank. Thanks so much for your good writing. Karen

Ha! Not sure if I will win it, but it was certainly a fun write in your contest. I laughed hard at this alien piece. This is the one where I got a private message saying I wasn?t really for this site and was like an AC/DC concert in an old aged home. Huh. Sounds like a compliment to me!

When it comes to fantasy and science fiction I do not need to totally understand Cowboy Jim in order to like what he writes.
Comment from Wayne Fowler
Very complete story within 100 words. Good work.
But he could find more readily ways to get himself 'probed' if he really wanted to. (Just no where near me!)

Not by green tentacles, Wayne!
Comment from papa55mike
Jimmy could take care of that need just by going to the right bar. I'm sure he could find plenty of volunteers. What a wonderfully written story with a good twist. Good luck in the contest!
Have a great day, and God bless.

Comment from Rosemary Everson1
A freaky person is someone or something strange or unusual and not like others. He might have a physical oddity and appear in a circus sideshow. A freaky person may also be a person who uses an illicit drug. What kind of personality did he have that he appreciated the aliens?

It was a play on Independence Day movie. There was a drunk crop duster who said the aliens took him up into their space ship and probed him. The people (men) in the diner called him a freak. Also you only get 100 words so there is always that!
Have a great day.

Comment from Navada
Yep - I laughed! I liked the set-up and the unexpected pay-off here. I'm left wondering whether the aliens will actually return and, if so, what will happen next? More probing or a sustained relationship? :)

Comment from Dawn Munro
AAAAAHahahahaha! Outrageous. But yes, your work is done. HAHAHAHA!
Truth is, Jim had a fetish, didn't he? It was all about the alien touch. Like nothing on earth. (*groan*)

This is a nicely developed little piece. I'll bet Jimmy really hoped the aliens were from uranus...
All the best

Comment from jmdg1954
The back of my mind (sick as it is) was thinking along the lines of the ending twist.
So, yes. I got a laugh out of this. You were a success!
Best of luck in the contest.

Comment from Julie Helms
Yeah, I laughed on the last line. I was expecting you to say, he's waiting for his sister to be returned or something. Not that! Very well done, excellent twist. Best of luck in the contest! Julie

Ha! My goal was to get some laughs. If it does well that will just be the cherry on top of the sundae!
