Considering this was originally presented on a kid's show, 3-2-1-CONTACT, can't you see this video giving some poor tyke nightmares?

I'm not too sure about that, Paul. They'd've lost interest about 30 seconds in and wouldn't have understood 1/10th of what was going on. Especially the ending: OBLIVION!

Being a great fan of S/F&F;, Mohawk, keep me posted.

MW, have you considered publishing it online, or publishing it yourself in limited numbers? Or perhaps do that with some of your earlier work to get your name out there. It's easier to get an agent if you've been published previously, even if you did it yourself, so long as the work is of sufficient quality (and I'm sure yours is!).

Thanks for the clip. I forgot about it. It was one of my favorites! 3-2-1 was an awesome show.
