Lost Cactus Archives short story

Excerpt:

“In the wee hours of a midsummer morning, well before sunrise, something crashes in an alfalfa field, a stone’s throw from the back porch of an old adobe bunkhouse in a remote valley in the California high desert.”

Description:

A thunderous crash jostles Emmitt from his South Seas dreams onto his decrepit, lonely reality. Pulling himself together, he grabs his shotgun and hunkers along a gouged path through an alfalfa field toward the smoldering wreckage of a disk-shaped craft and its enigmatic and diminutive pilot, who monitors his approach with a sly grin on his gray face. 

A quid pro quo turns a long-lost dream into reality while opening the door to a long-overdue family reunion.
