The story

I enjoyed this short story and love the authors writing and books!! quick listen

small things

This was definitely one of the best reads out of the aliens collection. Very entertaining and kept it interesting.

Good for her!

I’m glad she finally listened to and took her sister’s advice. This was my favorite of the “Alibis” installment. I really enjoyed. Even though it was a short read, it was very informative.

I did NOT see that coming!

Hannah dealt with a lot of things from her husband over the years, but some things were just off limits, as he'd come to learn.

Too short

I almost always love short stories- but this was just too short. I needed that man to really get what was coming to him
