'Tourists' is my kind of story. I love new and interesting takes on first contact. Guy lives with his grandmother and they watch as aliens make an appearance on earth, visiting various parts and tourist destinations. Grandma is a Christian Science devotee, but for all I know it’s a twisted version of the real Christian Science belief. The aliens visit their local church, and Grandma makes an impression on them. So they ask Grandma to go with them to their home world. Of course, being alien it’s not going to be quite what anyone expects. Kind of sick and twisted, and I like it.
