Why this story must be read:

Lighthearted stories are a sweetener for the palate, which can be made thick and nonresponsive by endless Sturm und Drang. Here is a plotty little story from the author of a massive 214 stories, many in the Phantom Menace category. With a mission that turns awful right away, Qui and Obi endure a blurred mandate from a fuzzy-minded Chief who can't remember why he summoned help, as well as the titular Monster to which there is less than meets the eye. Add to the mix a perpetually disgruntled populace who take xenophobia to a new level, and you have a short story that Qui and Obi wish were shorter. As a tidbit, the final sentence may make the reader think; that's not as painful as it sounds.

Very interesting story. But, where's McGee's sister? Did she move away? She used to live in the area and could be someone who could sit with him even if the others are too busy trying to find out what happened and find out it was an accident.

Yes, not sure what happened. Sorry.
