The aliens are here ... and they want municipal services! Ashley Perrin is fresh out of college and starting a job as a community liaison for the Third District—the city’s only sector with more alien residents than humans. Ashley’s barely found where the paper clips are kept when she’s beset with constituent complaints—from too much noise at the Annual Lupidian Celebration Parade to a trip-and-fall chicken to a very particular type of alien hornet that threatens the very city itself.
And if that’s not terrifying enough, Ashley is next up at the office Karaoke Night.
A light, amusing novella in which city employees try to save their city from alien murder hornets.
A light, but fun short story that entertained me on my train trip. A world in which we now have aliens living on earth and some interesting situations that can arise from that. Made me smile and chuckle a few times.
