I would just like to say to everyone who read and reviewed that I thank you for your comments and words. I really appriciate it.

Though some, maybe most, didn't really get my story and some confused by it. It was my fault because I wrote it too quick whilst everything was flowing through my head and I mustn't have got it out right. So, I'm going to try and explain for anyone who wants one!

The person who basically hit the nail on the head was Screamer (Kotton), I'll repeat what he said:

"A family can bury a problem, hide it from the world and try to forget that it ever exsisted, but the problem will always be there, waiting to surface again. And when it does it may have grown larger and angry, and will tear the family apart."

That is a good explanation of my story. My explanation follows, though, I can totally tell why some didn't get why I wrote this because it wasn't explained enough. Here's my explanation:

The family were going through some problems, some problems that might begin to hurt the family a great deal, so, they decide to have a barbeque to see if they can all come together as a family and become closer with one another. (I really didn't explain this in the story that well, at all really) So, they're having minor problems at the barbeque, a few shouts and mockings, when a larger problem crashes into their back yard. Now, the father of the story realises that the alien is far too much a problem the family to handle right now, especially with the stacks of problems they have already, and he believes this "problem" will break them apart.

So, he takes it upon himself, with the help of the uncle, to destroy this problem before it even begins. They do so and, just like a lot of people do sometimes, bury their problems. Of course, they actually do bury the problem into the ground and intend for it to never return again. Because of this "problem", the family came closer together during and after. The children had someone to look up to and a father they could really respect and love.

The twisted ending is, what Kotton said above, that if you bury a problem, it will always be there and when it decides to pop it's head from the ground, it's going to be harsh and it's going to rip the family apart again.

I hope it makes sense. I'm thinking that I might do a rewrite so that I can explain what I hadn't so this whole thing can be complete. At the moment, it doesn't feel that complete. But, anyway, hope it clears something up and to everyone who wrote a review, thanks for the reads.

1) The dialogue at times seemed silly. "Dave, your uncle or your father"? It's easy to see how he could be father to some and uncle to some children. Even then, I haven't seen anybody say that. There probably is a more natural way of conversation.
2) Uncle's name is "revealed" to be Dave at some point in the script. What was the point of using dialogues with 'Uncle' before that and then shifting to 'Dave' later? Didn't make sense. Unless it adds anything to the script, you could've just introduced Uncle Dave and used his name. Same goes for Mother Jane, Father John to an extent.

Okay, that was an easy read. Not bad.

EDIT: It seemed like you waited to use dialogues by name until the character is called by somebody with the name. I don't think that is the norm. But then again, I'm totally new.

EDIT: Something else I forgot to mention -- "manly shriek"?? That "You runied our barbecue" part came after the barbecue is over.
