About this ebook
At the age of five, Steffi saw an UFO landing in the car park of the local bank. Of course, the UFO might just have sprung from the imagination of a lonely child missing her best friend who had recently moved away. But Steffi's older sister Carrie saw it, too. Or did she?
Now an adult, Steffi is an astronomer working at a facility searching the depth of space for the extraterrestrial life she knows must exist. Because she saw it, when she was five, even if no one wants to believe her. And Carrie saw it, too, even if she never talks about it. But it takes a data readout with far-reaching implication to persuade Steffi that maybe she should talk to her estranged sister again about what happened on that autumn day so many years ago…
A bumper edition of two interlinked science fiction stories of 4600 words altogether about two sisters and their contact with aliens and with each other.

He has come back to me…
pinstripeI never believed in UFOs. UFOs, flying saucers, alien abductions, all that stuff. I always thought UFOs were just hallucinations, the sort of thing only crazy people saw. Until it happened to me.
It was cold, grey October day. My parents were away, as usual, and they had forced me to babysit Steffi, my kid sister. Oh yes, and the garden needs doing, too,
they had said before taking off for a weekend of golf.
Naturally, I was pissed off. I was fourteen and it was a Saturday afternoon. I had places to go, friends to meet. Yet here I was, grounded, forced to do garden work. And I hated garden work. The only thing I hated even more was babysitting my five-year-old sister.
So I got to work, planting flower bulbs in the garden, while Steffi was playing with earthworms. She loved playing with small critters. Snails, beetles, ladybugs, worms, any living thing unlucky enough fall into her hands was immediately converted into a plaything.
That day, Steffi played with earthworms. I had to give her all the worms I dug up while planting the bulbs. And there were a lot of worms, since it had rained the night before and the soil was still damp and wet. Steffi took the wiggling creatures and hung them over the branches of the firs in our garden. Silver tinsel for the Christmas tree,
she said, although Christmas was still two months away.
I ignored her, as I did most of the time. It was better than
