What a great end. Did not see it coming. Your descriptions are so detailed I can see it all in my mind. Thank you for generously sharing.

I love how you wrapped this up! I sensed that after part two, you were afraid that you wouldn't know where to go with it but you did a great job as usual, with elegant description and flowing language.

And as a bonus, the Highlands are still intact in the event that I ever get there!

Aliens are not the enemy .. unless there is a recipe book.

I love where you took this, Sharron! What a beautifully crafted conclusion to an awesome story. That final scene will stay with me for a long time.

When you started painting the scene with landmarks the story came to life even more for me. I once visited Scotland (Invergordon in the Highlands region), so this brought me back. Thanks for this!

"With two miles to go, light began to fade, the wind picked up and scattered large heavy drops of rain, challenging their every step."

A wonderfully descriptive and satisfying story.

Fantastic conclusion, a happy ending (of sorts). Unlike Carpenter's "They Live" where the aliens have enslaved us, living among us, their home. Love this. Well done, Sharron!
