An amusing & slightly chilling short story.

"Have you ever written science fiction? Have your stories been rejected? Herein may lie the reason." Thus begins the smiler. An amusing, well written quick read, It is well worth down loading.

Still another, another Cold War, Red Scare, Martian Invasion Conspiracy Theory.....er, Story.

This one with an added Paranoid Twist for Golden Age Sci-Fi Pulp Fanboys, who are frustrated that the amazing UFO Stories they submit are never published.

All is explained within this story.

TRIGGER WARNING!!!!!

Elements of this story could be DANGEROUS for Insecure Writers with Suicidal Tendencies.

That said....it's a readable story but nothing special.

Did Hernhuter die suddenly and mysteriously? Actually, he’s still alive.
