Short Story by Jerry Oltion

Two astronauts are stuck on Mars when their return craft brings an alien back to Earth. The ending of this story seemed like a setup to a longer story that couldn't be told because then the title would be less cleverly tied into everything. It wasn't a bad setup, and I suspect the author was correct not to expand on it any more, but I also won't remember it a month from now. 2.5 out of 5
