It should do well in the contest. For a minute I thought it was real but soo learned it was fiction. I see nothing wrong with it. Fast jump from sgt to Captain.

    Thank you.
    Fast jump from nobody to the president's oval office. It's a wonder what is possible in fiction. (smiley face here)

I've not read many of the Ohmni stories but it seems he is quite the hero and without you and your muse the world would be in great trouble. You must have more than one muse because these stories are very different from the ones I used to reading.

    Thank you very much.
    Yes, I posted over 80 Ohmie stories and Ben Persons was way different.

I don't know for sure, but I'd guess if we knew everything that is around us and what's really going on, we might be scared to death. But most of us fail to believe in anything other than what we can see. Unless it's a monster in the closet or under the bed. We know they aren't there, but as kids we were afraid any way. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

Some of our leaders have been so stupid in my opinion that I have no trouble believing that they would believe a story was real.This is well done. Saturday is moving day. Karen

downroar?

Aha! Ohmie returns!!

I guess I knew he would at some point, but you're going to finish your current book first, right? This was just a warm-up:-)

Already thinking on to the next big write.

    Thank you for your very kind review.
    Yes, finish first.
    And a couple contests.
    I have another novella length piece I'm considering. What I need is for Ohmie to have a box of things to invent, or aliens to save us from. Hmmmm.

Ohmie is back! Yay! I always love an Ohmie story, especially when he invents things with almost understandable titles and saves the world, or whoever is in trouble.

A great entry for this contest with your action-packed short story somehow whizzing your reader up in the air and then down into the president's office where Wayne is to be the hero against the Eullalas. This is a fair bit to take into my feeble brain this late in the evening but I know you've got a winner here! Good luck, Wayne! Debbie

Loved your entry for this contest and wouldn't it be great if something we wrote actually solved some crisis in the real world? Great way to bring Ohmie back! Best wishes in the contest!

Lol. So Ohmie is back, and on an important mission. A fine entry for this contest - and it links in well with your last story. Engaging writing. Best wishes for the contest. I hope you'll be back to FS after your time with the president is over!!! Lol.

Setting and opening a couple of sentences will draw the reader in for sure. We will follow you sentence to sentence. The reader will be curious also: " wondered what Jimmy Buffett had to do with why we were so abruptly whisked from our home. Then I thought back to an Ohmie story that featured Jimmy Buffett. I struggled to stay in the present." I have a friend who is a strong believer in
in conspiracy theories. She already told me that the Aurora Borealis was not real, it was from some other source. So this chapter is kind of amusing.
