A Scare at Bedtime: Little Green Fella's
Little Green Fella's
A Scare at Bedtime
They laughed at him. So he sold the world.
Tom O'Leary is a desperate farmer in County Clare, drowning in debt and mockery. When strange green lights appear over his cow pasture one night, he discovers three small alien beings examining his manure pile. They make him an offer: sell them fertilizer for their dying planet, get paid handsomely, ask no questions.
It seems like salvation.
But when Tom excitedly tells the town about his alien customers, they laugh in his face. "Mad Tom" becomes the local joke, pelted with eggs, vandalized, pitied, and dismissed. Even his childhood friend Siobhan thinks he's lost his mind.
Desperate to prove he's right, Tom sneaks aboard an alien ship and discovers the terrible truth, his manure isn't saving crops. It's fueling a war fleet. Earth isn't their agricultural partner, it's their next target. And Tom has been helping them prepare.
Captured and given a choice between death and collaboration, Tom remembers every laugh, every sneer, every moment of humiliation. The aliens offer him power, wealth, and revenge. All he has to do is help them conquer his own planet.
Tom says yes.
Little Green Fella's is a dark Irish horror story about the monster we become when we choose revenge over redemption. It's about wounded pride, terrible choices, and the price of proving everyone wrong. Most of all, it's about realizing too late that the real aliens weren't the little green beings who were honest about what they were, but the man who became something inhuman the moment he valued vindication over humanity.
"A scare at bedtime. A cautionary tale. A reminder of what happens when hurt people hurt the world."
