Old Like Us: Elders and Extraterrestrials

By Rod Trent

In the peaceful Starlight Eldercare Facility, lifelong friends Eleanor, George, Mabel, and Harold have settled into a cozy routine of shared stories and gentle camaraderie. Their days are filled with laughter over childhood antics and the comfort of enduring friendship. But one starry night, their tranquil world is turned upside down when a strange, shimmering craft descends from the sky, landing in the facility's rose garden.

Convinced it's no mere meteor, the spirited quartet embarks on a clandestine investigation, dodging skeptical staff and their own creaky joints. When they encounter a curious, luminescent alien visitor with an unexpected fondness for Mabel's knitting yarn, their adventure takes a turn from thrilling to downright bizarre. The alien, stranded and seeking a way home, communicates through cryptic gestures and peculiar sounds, sparking both hilarity and heartfelt moments as the friends rally to help.

As they unravel the mystery of the visitor's origins, Eleanor's sharp wit, George's knack for improvisation, Mabel's nurturing warmth, and Harold's stubborn skepticism collide in a whirlwind of antics that rekindle their youthful mischief. But the outside world begins to notice the odd occurrences at Starlight, and the friends must protect their extraterrestrial guest from prying eyes while confronting their own fears about aging, legacy, and the unknown.

Old Like Us: Elders and Extraterrestrials is a heartwarming and humorous tale of friendship, curiosity, and the courage to embrace the extraordinary-no matter how old you are. Will the quartet help their alien friend return to the stars, or will their adventure spark a cosmic connection that changes Starlight forever?
