What a great 100 word story. You made me laugh with your closing lines. You took me by surprise which I'm sure was your intention all along. All the very best with the writing prompt contest. This was great. Well done.

Comment from Timmory Pisciotta
this took such a turn I wasn't expecting! I love the idea that there are aliens out there looking at Earth nervous to come here! I mean actually that's kind of like a terrifying thought but cool nonetheless. I really enjoyed this, thank you for sharing.

Comment from Bill Schott
This one-hundred-word story, Into the Unknown, has the proper word count and shifts the point of view of exploring strange new worlds to the visitor. I doubt we are cool enough to receive octopus people without the usual knee-jerk military reaction.

I agree with you, the independence day movie didn't help either. We shall see though. Thanks for reading my story. :)
Comment from Donna G. (aka Sam Duck)
Very cool twist. You would think that only having 100 words would keep you from being able to fully tell the story; but you make the situation very realistic, and show detail and personality. Well done!

Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
Excellent entry for the 100 Word Story writing prompt contest. Well written and follows the contest rules. It's hard to tell a complete story in 100 words but you managed well.
The end is a big surprise, aliens coming to earth, good one.
Well done! Good luck in the club

Comment from Rosemary Everson1
The Alien Planet, as it was known, was occupied by wealthy, happy, and prosperous extraterrestrial dwellers. Having faith in what they could provide the universe, a gathering of 2,222 of these aliens set out to discover the Alien Planet. (Via the Internet. Could not answer this comment until I did some searching.)

That sounds like the beginning of a great book. I truly believe in extraterrestrials. Thanks for reading my story. :)
Comment from Shirley McLain
You put a nice twist to this story, with the visitors coming to earth from somewhere. When Mara brushed her tentacles, it was a surprise. Great job. Shirley

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it. I appreciate you reading my poem. :)
Comment from LisaMay
I enjoyed how your story put a mirror on space exploration, with the tentacled aliens wondering about aspects of Earth as a destination. (Perhaps you should add a cap E to your earth.)

Comment from Tom Horonzy
Perhaps it is me, but in reading these entries there is very little to vote positively the best. Is it the limitation of a thousand words? I guess. but of the ten read thus far you are either one or two that has a dash of understanding.

Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
This short story provides an amusing twist to the classical space exploration science fiction experience. I thoroughgly enjoyed my read, except for the visually disturbing flash. (my eyes don't appreciate such an intense visual component of FF)
