Caleb and the Alien: Tentacles

by Daniel Cole

In this surprising final episode of The Caleb Carlson Series, Caleb’s skepticism of all things paranormal takes a huge hit when he encounters a shape-shifting, time-traveling, mind-reading alien on his way home from work on a “fine Tuesday evening.”Matilda, sometimes a “little old lady” wearing old-fashioned clothes, sometimes a beautiful, but mysterious Golden Retriever with telepathic powers, and occasionally a gorgeous and sexy young lady driving a Porche, is from a universe that is “farther away than you could possibly imagine.” That prodigious distance is no hindrance to her, however, as she travels at the speed of thought.When the “scientists” on her planet discover an evil “Presence” on earth that recruits and grooms mass shooters through a mysterious “Shooter Game,” made available on the Internet, they send Matilda on a mission to earth to try to find a way to foil the “Presence,” and to stop the mass murderers. She is assisted in her endeavor by the enigmatic “Percy,” the main character in Caleb’s novel, mysteriously come to life. Along the way, Matilda demonstrates the proper way to deal with a mass murderer.Matilda and Percy also help Caleb to become an incredibly successful author, grooming him to be as altruistic as they are after teaching him a valuable lesson about “Tentacles,” the pervasive results of both Good and Evil.
