Before I get into my rant I wanted to make a special shout out to Purplecat and all of those who pointed out how much I suck at editing my own work. Purplecat I still say pet is correct. I still have my dictionary from 1981 when I was a freshman in High School. Merriam-webster online says petted is correct, but then it also say pet as a transitive verb means to take offense to sulk. Even if it was a diminutive form of petulant I still don't see that definition. In my book petulant mean to be an ass or a jackass. not pet. Anyway that's the end of my rant. Thank you guys again for the help. I'm going to post this one last time and leave it. I will be removing the comments and voting as well.

Less that 5 min and my story has 169 dnlds. Has a 6.9 score already. thank you for a nice score. For those of you who have read it already I have corrected some errors, inserted a missing paragraph, and differentiated between human and alien speech. Tavi uses contractions and the alien doesn't.

I may give the creature a name in a future chapter but I haven't decided. I am working on the next story and will post it when it is complete, hopefully I'll remember to edit 'before' I post it.

I have had such a wide variety of scores that I thought I'd turn on comments and see just what readers thought. I have received five votes of 10, unfortunately the vote of a 1 was the first, that I am considering rewriting and making it into a bigger story. Tell me what you think.

I suspected that this story would get a shitty score and it did. 4.79. This story came to me in a dream and I wrote it down to keep from forgetting it. For it to really be a story it needs more substance. However, I'm not doing it on the Kindle. It was a birch creating the story on it. And even worse trying to upload it. I had to copy and paste. I'll wait till I get my laptop back from HP.

Ok I am posting a new story. I created it on the kindle since my $3000 laptop in a paper weight. (still under warranty, thank the gods) However, I was not able to attach the file I had to open it and copy and paste. So i will not guarantee the formatting. It was originally in *.docx. Guess we'll see when it posts. Some authors claim "all mistakes are my own" under the circumstances i am making no claim.
