The Story
Making Contact: A Gold Spaceship
Rubbing his eyes with disbelief, Bazel comes to and takes a seat on the desert ground. Quiet but curious at the fact that there is a little grey alien joining him and his friend on their magical trip.

Charles responds “that’s the x3000 – the most luxurious spaceship in all the galaxies.”

“I want to know more about this spaceship Charles,” Bazel says.
Charles looks up and then back down at Bazel. He raises his long, spindly fingertips in front of Bazel’s face and shouts “let’s go then.”
