Thread: [Story Challenge April] Topic Winner Announced; Ongoing Discussion

Well, it looks like Identity X has run into some things to do, so I thought that if everyone's ready, we could start the next round of short stories.

This month's theme is:
Aliens

When you submit your short story, you may create a thread for it and post the link here, or you can upload your story on another host and post the link here and I will put them all together. If you do create a thread for your story, though, if it is longer than about two pages, put it in between Spoiler tags so it doesn't take up much room. Let me know if you're having problems with that.

And without further ado, let the games begin!
