When a loved one with Alzheimer's Disease forgets who you are, the pain it brings is unimaginable. But when family is there to wipe the tears and hold your hand, you learn to cope. This story is about the day we realized that my dad, the man we've known all of our lives, is gone. The publisher I've been working with wants a little bit more drama in the mix. I'm kind of flailing around to be honest. It all makes me so nervous! I know there are formatting/grammar/spelling issues, I apologize. I do things like this quickly than I go back and correct what I see. Be honest, God knows I need it!

Summary:

Most Martian weddings are rather nondescript and far from entertaining. In fact, most of them are just plain boring. This one, however, fits a different mold. Stories about this particular wedding are still among some the favorite old tales being told a hundred years later. In fact, Phfaschtja's bra is one of the most celebrated displays at the local museum. And the story of Pfhaschtja's father's face being trapped between his mother-in-laws knees is still a knee slapper. Any thoughts, nits, suggestions, comments appreciated. I've never before written anything in a fantasy setting (other than D&D adventures). I'm not even sure this is the kind of story the contest is seeking. Anyway, here it is....I'VE DONE A SIGNIFICANT REWRITE!!!
