Here's a little story I doodled out on a whim. An alien invasion is called on account of weather. 1,569 words.

Dear Kim:

I hope this isn't the end of the story, because I'm anxious to find out what happens next! I'd also love to see you draw the two alien kids.

You've probably guessed what became of the one who was left behind. Which two were you interested in seeing? (Aqua girl & purple boy - birdwatchers, dark blue boy - tornado watcher.)

"You've probably guessed what became of the one who was left behind."

I probably should have, but I haven't.

"Which two were you interested in seeing? (Aqua girl & purple boy - birdwatchers, dark blue boy - tornado watcher.)"

The aqua girl and the purple boy for starters, but I hope you'll get to all of them eventually.

OK, I'll see what I can do. I'm currently working hard on yet more pics for A Refugee in Oz, but if I get totally sick of that I'll sketch them. After I figure out what they look like. (I already know what the dark blue one looks like.)

BTW, I did some thinking yesterday, and came up with a few more sketches from the kid's life. Here's the first: Some years later he runs away from... well, not really home, as he's been bounced around in foster care a lot. Seems nobody really knows what to make of him, so nobody wants to claim him for their family. Rather than face any more of that, he ties up a few spare clothes and a kazoo in a pillowcase and jumps into a cargo car in a train. He has no idea where it's bound for, but anywhere that nobody knows him is a step up, in his opinion.
