WHERE
ARE WE?
The alien commander watched Fredo and Shoda’s keyboard skills on the monitor. ‘They’re too
bright – more trouble than they’re worth. We’ll catch some four-legs for food
instead.’ He flicked a switch.
Fredo
gasped. ‘I think it’s working! Hold tight, everyone!’
They clumped
together in a nervous group, there was a brief sensation of weightlessness, and
a moment later they landed in a ruined building. Slowly they picked themselves
up, looking skywards, but the aliens had gone.
‘Everyone
here?’ inquired a tremulous voice.
‘Where is
here?’ someone replied.
‘It’s Earth,’
said Shoda, ‘with no aliens and no guards. That’s a good start.’

ReplyDeleteThis is not going to end well for somebody. But for them, or for us, isn't yet clear
ReplyDeleteI tried to end the story today, but it seems I failed!
DeleteI think the four legged ones might turn out to be cleverer than the humans, but what do I know?!
ReplyDeleteI think the four- legs are cattle,
ReplyDeleteA good start..now what?
ReplyDeleteI am trying to finish the story but it's taken on a life of its own!
DeleteI hope they don't make a mess of it, it's a precious thing that Earth!
ReplyDeleteLet's hope they've learned a salutory lesson.
DeleteThose aliens are always up to know good. Nice one, Lizy!
ReplyDeleteNever trust a biped with green skin.
DeleteA good start, indeed. :-)
ReplyDeleteReturning home is always a good start!
DeleteDear Liz,
ReplyDeleteThis leads me to ask who are the aliens?
Shalom,
Rochelle
Those who came down in the spaceship!
DeleteThat is a good start!
ReplyDeleteThe world is theirs!
DeleteNo aliens and no guards sounds like a good start indeed!
ReplyDeleteNow they have to learn to survive in a new environment.
DeleteThank goodness they transported away from the alien threat; yet knowing humans, they may not be out of danger just yet. Good story, Liz.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jade. At least they're safe from aliens!
DeleteThanks Keith - I wonder too!
