Micraliens

Could any weird alien (other than a dead one) ever be a good thing? “Of course!” says JV Rootsey who, as a teenager, used to be one. Imagine somebody from out-of-this-world taking a dying or dead kid and giving him a new life. Dream on, you say? How about doing the same thing for the kid’s friend ... and doing it while facing human weaknesses, evil characters and equipment failures? Impossible? Read ‘Micraliens’ and see.

Condensed version of the opening chapter won Grand Prize from ‘Children’s Writer’ for a Sci-Fi short story, and was published by Scholastic in Volume 51, No 9 of ‘Science World’ magazine.
