This one's an alternative-future-history SF story and it's more than a little downbeat and way grim, with no sex -- so if you're after a stroke story, this isn't it. For any of you that've read S. M. Stirling's Draka series, that was partly an inspiration for this, as was Jerry Pournelle's "Future History" to some extent. George Robert Elford's "Devil's Guard" was also something of an inspiration, as were a few books on the Spanish Civil War.

A Story in the Who Were They? Universe
They arrived from deep space and ignored us. When they left, they left scars all over the planet and especially on our souls.
We didn't know who they were or why they came, but when they left, we knew what they had done.
This story is not true, but sort of an amalgamation of a number of stories told to me by several members of the military. I don't know how factual the basic premise might be, but when you hear similar stories from a number of unrelated sources, you tend to believe there is more than a grain of truth to it.
What if an escort company decided to take over the world? VBE is a juvenile rant against capitalism, sexism, celebrity, and the Entertainment-Industrial Complex. For the first time ever the whole sordid story is available here in condensed Reader's Digest format without all the clever graphics, provocative distractions, or subliminal messages embedded in the original VBE website. Note: The author received no compensation from product placement. (I did it out of the goodness in my heart)
Summer is drawing to a close. April was a late arrival on the island but she was determined to have fun even if her best friend Lucy was unable to join her. There was always a chance of finding Romance and Adventure without her.
