How I Lost it on Planet X

by Gabbo De La Parra

Dear Author,
Location: Planet XZ345, Pyramids of old Perth

A distinct sound makes Darien look up from his archeological work. What in the name of the seven planets is that?

Before the warrior reaches him, Darien thinks that perhaps he should not have dismissed all the talk of a curse and a sacred guardian on the old documents, after all … and then the alien warrior opens his mask…

About the author

Born a Sagittarius in the fabulous year of the Rooster of ’69, at the hour when his cat was about to become a complete dragon, Gabbo de la Parra landed on the Caribbean Coast of the outlandish Republic of Panama to start the adventure of life.

Love and the Internet brought him to Middle Tennessee to embrace the American Dream and his husbandly romance. Writing has been an important part of his life since a very early age, and it’s a pleasure to share his stories with others thanks to the wonderful opportunities this land provides.

Gabbo cherishes Life with a southern gentleman in a townhouse (crowded with the spirits of his characters), close to a man-made lake and with their pets: street-smart Russian Blue Bella and rambunctious Rottweiler Alex.

3.5 - This short story simply cries out for a sequel! I'd also like to learn more about the guardian's civilization, too.

Although I liked the balance of the realtionship the romance novel trappings of the story were a little much for me.

Bittersweet as these two men find a relationship only to be torn apart. I want to image it works out for them someday.

First off I have to say you have an amazing vocabulary! I love the story but I plead with you to write a sequel. Please, please, please, you get the idea, right? I truly enjoyed how Kekoa went about helping Darien to fall in love with him. I loved the world you created.

Wow. This was kind of dumb. And the overuse of the word byotch made it almost unbearable. I realize it was free, and for that I'm grateful but yikes.
