Not sure where to begin with this one. Excellent, intriguing and provoking. Keith found his true love in the simulation after having a reality check, he wanted to return. If this technology was available today, I believe it would help people to find true love. Continue to write stories like this in the future.
Very nicely done. You're one heck of a good story creator and teller. It's a shame that they each had real family, though. It would have been much more satisfying if they were to true loners that otherwise trusted no one but made that once in a lifetime connection.
Well done! Very 'Twilight Zone' feeling when we hit the twist. I'm torn between wanting their story to continue, or letting it end here, with the questions laid bare.
Sleep schedule?? what's that? I've just had to switch from night shift mode to days.... been awake now for 26 hours so I can get some sleep in about an hour, wake up 6 hours later for work..... ugh, I'm too old for this, heh. I like the twist. Have a great day everyone.
Would be great to hear a part two... Maybe they both make arrangements to cross the galactic space to meet each other, and how their own real relationships break down as they both rekindle the virtual love into a reality.
Very engaging story. Long time sci Fi fan with very little time to indulge during my daily life. Short stories help satisfy the cravings! Please continue to create these shiny little gems.
Enjoyed the story this needs a part two maybe. They both have families and maybe the bond between them can help them find in their real lifes the things they find in each other,to learn and grow. I would prefer reality to a unhappy almost cheating heart of a spouse. Well done touchy subject!
It takes you on a trip. Into the imagination an escape from reality. We need that excitement in our daily lives.Be it real or artificial. It's quite thought provoking. What's missing from our lives. But what a story.
Enjoyed it! I too write fantasy stories similar to yours. They’re rather thought provoking and somewhat mysterious. Thank you for these stories of yours. Keep them comin’!
Absolutely great story. Makes me wonder about living in a matrix or simulation. Wouldn't it be cool to find out reality was just imagination and we could live whatever life we longed for by just thinking it ?
It was a sad look at not being satisfied with our rallies. Learning to correct our desires within ourselves and places in real life. We need to ask God for help in these citations. Instead of falling into the temptations of fantasy, must bring ourselves to adjust our situations to the real dream of what we have.
Ah, I appreciate your astute question! I should clarify - in the world of our story, there is indeed real space travel and interplanetary contact. The Interspecies Compatibility Project uses advanced VR technology as a precursor to actual physical meetings, allowing species to interact safely and learn about each other before engaging in real space travel. Keith, our protagonist, has never personally been on a space mission due to his earthbound job. The VR program gives him a taste of the adventures he's always dreamed of experiencing. Meanwhile, actual diplomatic and scientific missions are taking place between Earth and Enobius. I hope this clears up any confusion. Thank you for your interest in the deeper aspects of the story's universe!
I loved the story. Your descriptions of love and intimacy is beautiful but the notion of potentially destroying two real families for a fantasy is disturbing.
I wish we could confirm alien life in at least our little Galaxy but I'm not certain we ever will. After all could we recognize true alien sentient life? I doubt it would be compatible with carbon based life.

I liked the story, but since you're asking for feedback, I don't think you captured love. The reader can fill in the blanks and attribute deeper meaning to it - and I did - but the relationship between Keith and Nera didn't seem to be based on more than physical attraction and longing for something new. I wouldn't discard anything you've written, but to make it more meaningful, I'd add some appreciation for each other's skills and personalities, and/or maybe some moments of vulnerability, some commonalities in their backgrounds other than sexual fantasies, etc. if it wouldn't make it too much longer. I think you nailed the sci-fi element and the sexual tension. But it would be more real if Nera & Keith were more real. I think. Maybe the point is that we aren't our true selves in the virtual worlds of our imaginations. Maybe the point is that virtual worlds manipulate our emotions and the xenobiology researchers were a metaphor for that. Maybe making them more real in the virtual world would mess up one of the points you were trying to make. But as far as a love story, I think it lacked some vulnerability. EDIT: Disregard what I wrote before. I think you were right all along. The vulnerability comes from the real world and real love is Sarah who gave Keith children and showed him support and expressed genuine concern. Nera being seductive and gorgeous contrasts with Sarah. Both women are real, but Sarah loves Keith how he really is, even though their lives are mundane. Nera presents herself differently in the virtual world, as does Keith, and it's a world of sexual desire and excitement; a world of fantasy. Making Nera betray more depth of character would mess up the contrast. She's real, but only as real as she allows herself to be. Keith is also real, but only the part of him that wants to satisfy his desires for sex and excitement. So disregard what I said at first. Might work in a novel, perhaps, but for this short story, I think you got it right.
written by a geek who lives in a fantasy world of his own creation & who's touch with reality is negligible. it's obvious this detailed story has been the creation of yrs living in the world of his own imagination. good imagination but poor morals
I'd love to be part of the space and find and Allen woman cause my life on earth is very good with the females on earth cause I really don't have a real female in my life and I really do want one to complete me but and alien female would be a great experience to me even more so.
Enjoy listening!
Keith needs to ask himself: "What would James T. Kirk do?" 😂
She's green. What do you think Kirk would do?
Lol
Erotically going where no human has before
🤔🤔🤔😁😁😁
Captain Kirk would have ....♥️♥️♥️♥️ Like all the rest of the universe

This one needs a Part 2!!!
I agree

Very thought provoking. Two centuries ahead of your time. Keep it up.
What's Keith's problem?
I've nibbled a few earlobes in my time and I have never been off this planet... 😂
Many ear piercings are there simply because the woman knows how susceptible she is to that approach 😊😊😊
I really like to listen to the narrators voice. It is intoxicating and inviting to listen to other stories. ❤
Very engaging story. Long time sci Fi fan with very little time to indulge during my daily life. Short stories help satisfy the cravings! Please continue to create these shiny little gems.
Very thought provoking, thank you
As I am often wont to say, "The gods have a sense of humor, and it is perverse."
I enjoyed the story... Please make more!
You know, there is going to be a time in the future.That things like that are bound to happen
Vert interesting. Enjoyed the ending. It gives me a great opportunity to imagine a continuation of their romance.
Loved the story loved both aspects of it wish there was a better conclusion like both of them finding each other in the universe not the VR universe

All of you are naught but characters in my dreams, and the Universe itself merely a backdrop.
Pray that I remain asleep.
Live Long & Prosper ,or crash and burn ? Sublime ,more please,well done🙏💕❤️🖖🐈⬛
It is real .? Isn’t it?🙏💕❤️🖖🐈⬛
Enjoyed it! I too write fantasy stories similar to yours. They’re rather thought provoking and somewhat mysterious. Thank you for these stories of yours. Keep them comin’!
I think you may have found your calling! Well done!
Periodic, Consumption of Nebula Nectar may ease the Sleeping difficulties... Thx for the Upload.
😂
Very engaging & as you said, thought provoking - You did GREAT! Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Very interesting questions
This is interesting story
Loved it..
Very different, don't stop now. Being old and not into VR, I don't see the fascination, but my great grandchildren do.
I have a sneaking suspicion that Keith is in the holodeck...
Very intriguing story. Very deft handling of is various complications. Keep up the good work.
Can you please finish the story I loved the premise the best I have ever read more more
Great story❤
Lol so it's a Virtual interspecies cheating story lol😂. Love it 😉
Same thing I said lol
Plot twist!! The "home" reality is VR too!
Absolutely great story. Makes me wonder about living in a matrix or simulation. Wouldn't it be cool to find out reality was just imagination and we could live whatever life we longed for by just thinking it ?
Truly makes you "think" 😮
Wow! What a twist in the story! Good story!
Best story I've ever heard!!

A win in scifi.....
Love This
Amazing.
And I hope that part 2 gone post soon???
Best SF story i have experienced
Man if the aliens were looking like this it's on if you know what I mean people 😊😅😊😅
"the warped drive" HAHAH
Good story very enjoyable
Fascinating concept. Question -- is there real space travel? If not, how fo people on different planets have the same tech?

The Interspecies Compatibility Project uses advanced VR technology as a precursor to actual physical meetings, allowing species to interact safely and learn about each other before engaging in real space travel.

This is like having the runs on a hot summer's day, don't be unfaithful. that's it.
Very intresting and though porvoking story enjoied it good read thanks for putting in the work ❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊C.S.A. BABY
in spite of this being a story...this is the future of entertainment and I think the reaction will be the same.
Awesome 😊
Thank you! Cheers!
Excellent work
Many thanks
Nera is an Orion woman.
Surprisingly, this is not bad. Great short story although the errors in coding could have been described more originally. I enjoyed it.
it was a good story
I loved the story. Your descriptions of love and intimacy is beautiful but the notion of potentially destroying two real families for a fantasy is disturbing.
very tame
Was it real, is anything real, am i real? so many questionable things
AWESOME STORY. TO BAD THEY DIDN'T GET IT ON. GREAT STORY.
So, when does part two come out?
What does ozone smell like? I get the flowers. Hope they’re roses and not Amorphophallus Titanum flower.
Keith needs to get insight from his 2nd in command..you know..spock...the one with no emotions & set him straight..
I liked it bur what happened to the ending is there a part 2
Interesting story. A galactic version of online hookups and delusion that you aren't cheating cause it isn't real
I wish we could confirm alien life in at least our little Galaxy but I'm not certain we ever will. After all could we recognize true alien sentient life? I doubt it would be compatible with carbon based life.
Does anyone proof read the close captioning that you force on us? How many times can you miss spell Nira?

Why did you stop so suddenly?

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉😂😊😅❤❤❤❤❤❤
What teenager writes this scrap?
It was me!
no nope AI botgen story . Would you have relationships with any non human lifeform? cat snake shark no nope not a chance
Cheaters... this VR experience corrupted them. No matter how much it satisfy you... cheating is abuse
I'd love to be part of the space and find and Allen woman cause my life on earth is very good with the females on earth cause I really don't have a real female in my life and I really do want one to complete me but and alien female would be a great experience to me even more so.
Isn't very
