Stories

  • Reach for the Stars part 1 of 5 · Guardians · 23 pages

    Five children discover the alien Dre'kk who has crash-landed on Earth. They tell him they are the Guardians, protectors of the planet. Years later, only one of the former children believes that the event really happened, but Dre'kk is on his way back to Earth to enlist the Guardians' help.

Publisher’s description

THEN: A group of neighborhood kids who make-believe that they're intergalactic super-heroes have a chance encounter with a real alien and help him in his time of need! Living out their childhood fantasies to the fullest, they tell the alien that they are the Guardians - appointed protectors of this planet - and that, should he need their help again, they'll be ready! NOW: It's been 14 years since their extra-terrestrial adventure, and the kids have grown up and moved on. Having given up their childhood dreams they are making an awkward transition to the adult world, working average jobs and living average lives...until the alien that they helped all those years ago returns to Earth, seeking the help of the "Guardians" once again!
