The Save Your Planet Show - by John Klawitter

A group of elderly people quietly living out their lives in a retirement home in Southern California are contacted by a slick stranger who claims to be an alien being from another world. They are worried because of the extreme unlikeliness that this might be true, and by the fact that their retirement home has an Alzheimer’s Ward and a director who is aggressive in his efforts to fill it. It seems unbelievable that an alien would contact them, of all people – particularly when this odd fellow reveals that he is enlisting them to save their planet.
The stranger reveals his name is DoubleSpin (named after a sub-molecular particle that goes around twice to complete one 360-degree spin), and that Earth has been selected as a contestant in the Save-Your-Planet Show, a galactic charity event beamed to all sentient corners of the Milky Way.
Even as the group of dubious humans, who dub themselves “The Old Bunch,” begin to believe they are not imagining things, religiously motivated anarchists in Nigeria are carrying out plans to ship a nuclear device half way around the world and into Los Angeles harbor. And just when it seems they will accomplish their mission, DoubleSpin is jerked from the galactic survival show and the Old Bunch can no longer rely on his somewhat sketchy powers to help them save the planet.
