+Cover

I love it! It looks really beautiful and actually signifies the alien life. Of course, a part of my bias is shining through since I love anything related to space.

Rating: 9/10

+ Title

Well, a certainly unique title. Not sure how exactly it ties in with the story though. But a really attractive title nonetheless.

Rating: 8.5/10

+ Summary

It doesn't even allude to what happens in the end-- but that it a great thing. It gives a decent insight for the start of the story and that is more important.

Rating: 7.5/10

+Plot

Completely unique. It may seem cliché at first look but by the end you know you have never read anything like this and most probably never will.

Rating: 9/10

+ Characters

They both are normal people, a bit quirky but that is never a bad thing. Their curiosity landed them in this 'mess' but their, or should I say his, stupidity ended it. (It was colourful! How can he get confused?!?)

Yet I like the interactions between them.

Rating: 8/10

+ Chapter

Length: It is very lengthy but it is worth it. And given that it is a one-shot, it is acceptable.

Grammar, Typos, etc: When talking about time, she says that she has been on Earth for a few years. I think you meant hours.

No other major typos or problems so kudos on that!

General:

I like your narrative style. It is something different yet entertaining to read.

The only problem I could spot was the part of the fire in the apartment. It seems completely unnecessary. You could have just had his mother call him home or something and then continued with the scene.

Other than that all I have to say is...... Wow! You have me blown away because I DID NOT expect this ending. I don't know how I thought it would end (Maybe the usual cliché way?) But this was not even close to it.

It seems abrupt but it caught me so off guard that I am not even worried about that.

Despite it being a one shot it managed to have me blinking my eyes and wondering what the hell just happened?

And believe me, that is quite a hard thing to achieve with me since I basically think up all the possibilities as I go on reading and at least one of them come true. But this- this was surprising.

An abrupt end but then that is understandable. Though it built it up so much and seemed a bit anti- climactic.

And I am not ashamed to admit that I laughed out loud at the end. There was something just so hilarious about it that I couldn't stop myself.

+ Conclusion

It will have you wondering how come you didn't see that coming. With the narrative style we should have expected it to end in a totally non- cliché way but this is another thing.
