Comment from Dolly'sPoems
I loved the punch line here as these aliens find earth and wonder if they would be accepted and survive. It is quite possible that one day we could encounter aliens, a poignant and humorous write, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Thank you as always for reading my poem. It's very nice of you.:)
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
That was a wonderful story with a fabulous twist at the end. It seems strange being called aliens, but that's what we are to those living on other planets, and I do believe there are many out there. Well done and good luck in the contest. :)) Sandra xx

This is so good! The only problem is there isn't more! I demand more to this story lol. What happens when Mara makes it to her destination? Exceptionally well written I do believe!

Comment from LJbutterfly
I love this story as it represents the true meaning of flash fiction. You can read an entire, satisfying story with a suspenseful challenge for the protagonist and a meaningful resolution with a twist ending. I wish you the best in the contest. This story is definitely a contender.

Comment from WriterHeather
This is such cool short story! I like the surprise at the end. I'm sure there are many life forms out there watching us as we speak. Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest!

Comment from Sarah Tummey
I liked the clever twist in the last 4 words of this. Probably because I live here on earth, I assume at first they're going from earth to somewhere new.

Thank you for reading my poem.
Comment from lancellot
Very interesting. I see you went for the classic misdirection form of flash fiction. Good idea. I would say, that by using Earth terms, for the aliens, it looses authenticity. Also, as this is told from Mara's POV. How would they know the planet is called Earth?
Just something to consider.
Good luck in the contest.

She doesn't know, it's just pointed out to the reader that its earth. It's unknown to the travelers. Not the most original, but an interest of mine. Thanks for reading. :)
Comment from jessizero
I like that you flipped the reader's expectations by making your main character the so-called alien and not a human astronaut. Thank you for sharing your story, and good luck in the contest.
