#Deepthoughts | What if we're the aliens? 👽

My son is watching Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue, and I'm like, "Yeah, but it ain't no Seaquest."

In the fall of 2011, a pretty amazing thing happened for me. I had a short story of mine published in The Derby Telegraph over in Derbyshire—you guessed it, in England. I had a short story being read by the people of Derbyshire, and in print no less. It was a fuzzy feeling of warmth. Knowing that somewhere, across the pond, people were picking up their local newspaper and reading a story by me. I'll never forget that fuzzy feeling.
Soon after the story made it to their website and I linked to it form this blog.
Well, recently I clicked on that Derby Telegraph link and found it no longer existed. Saddened by its removal from their website, but kind of understanding because it did sit on their site for many years, I've decided to republish the story here. And as is my new custom, I've converted it into 3 readable formats (epub, mobi, PDF). And also as is my custom, they are all free for download to read at your leisure on whatever device you carry or keep locked to the desk.

The Experiment (a short story for free, you're welcome).



I'm revisiting an old short story today. This story of mine originally ran in The Derby Telegraph across the pond. Since they have taken it from their servers, understandably it's been a long time, I've decided to do what I do now. I converted it to 3 readable formats (epub, mobi, PDF) and made them available to download for free. You can follow to my blog to read a little blurb I made about the experience with The Experiment and follow the link onward from there to download.

The story is a super quick read (3 pages) and is a science fiction piece. If this sounds good to you, have at it.







Let me know what you think of The Experiment in the comments. At one time I developed a longer version, would you be interested in an extended Experiment?
