Review: Clever, fast-paced short story with a Twilight Zone twist.

Contact Window is a first contact short story with a Twilight Zone style twist. The main characters, Gatr and Litr come from their home planet to make first contact with a primitive species and offer helpful technology. But the response is unlike anything they've encountered before.In the short time we're with them, Gatr and Litr become fully realized characters with their own hopes, dreams and sense of duty. They're admirable beings dedicated to carrying out the mission at all costs.This is a fast-paced, engaging story about the unexpected differences in people. Suspecting a twist was coming, the outcome became fairly obvious about 65% through. Didn't affect the payoff, however. Hope to see Gatr and Litr again.
