About Aliens Venmoed Me a Trillion Dollars: The Short Story
ALIENS VENMOED ME A TRILLION DOLLARS
“The truth is out there… and paying very well.”
Doug Dawkins lives to debunk conspiracy theories, especially crackpot claims of aliens. So when his dead dad FaceTimes him (giving him crazy money and orders to cover up the truth of extraterrestrial existence), Doug is sure this is a hacker’s scam and reports it to the NSA. Then government security servers melt down. NSA agents become convinced Doug and his wife are dangerous spies. But Doug is sure he’d never kill anyone or believe aliens exist. Could he be half right?
One problem is that an astronomer just discovered the background static of the universe is actually unfathomably complex, interstellar communications, definitive proof of alien life, and that professor is… Doug’s wife, Lena Fierro.
Why would he want to turn down a trillion-dollar cosmic bribe, yet still conceal the truth from the world?
