I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

The name sounds a bit like an old pre-WW I military novel I read named "Riddle of the Sands," about a German invasion of the UK.

You are too late, Dave. My influence has already spread. Have you met my new home version?

Oh my! This looks really good and potentially a very hot read! If it is as campy and scifi as it appears while still being full of hot scifi or alien mind control I am going to love it.

Thanks, I can't wait to check it out.

Reminds me of old pulp comics we had in the 50's, or maybe the old serials we watched at the movies, can not wait to see how this one plays out!! ;) ;) ;)

Neat idea, but it came off as a bit too rushed. Could have used slower pacing.

P.S. Bleep bloop.

Uh, yeah.  Maybe there can be a bonus explaining it?  I did like the Twilight Zone/Outer Limits kind of ending with the "voice over" ("text box over"?)

Page 7. Now I know Elvis's eating habits were kinda poor, but why would he play Monosodium Glutimate? This makes no sense.

So, I revisited this again today, and I have to say--this is one of the funnier bits I've seen here. The narrative is a little squished; I think a couple more pages of exposition (with mind control devices and sex, natch) would've helped, but I have revised my opinion of the piece upwards a couple of notches. You guys should give it another look.
