Come to Papa
I didn’t fear death. In fact, I looked forward to joining my universal family as my Hopi grandfather said I would. I walked into the desert, sat down and waited. Then a silver disc appeared in the sky. My heart pounded when it beckoned, “Come to Papa.”

I was dog walking, admiring the view from Beachy Head Cliffs. A grey skinned stranger with a ray gun approached.
‘I spearhead the invasion. Unknown worlds are valuable to Arcturus. Take me to your leader.’
The idiot spoke to my dog, ignored me. I kicked him over the edge.

The flying saucer wobbled on landing, its green occupant approached.
His right tentacle held a metallic object possibly a weapon, his left a book. Was this invasion, was Earth to die?
He consulted the book, raised that right tentacle, I cringed, he said,
‘Can I borrow a spanner?’

On my first archaeological dig I unearthed a dinosaur skull, small, complete, somehow intelligent looking. Dropping my trowel I stared. It had a gold filling in a front incisor. Forgery! Fake! Fraud! they would scream at me. I filled in the hole and looked elsewhere.

What in the world ?
That’s was my last thoughts exactly, On that night as I walking out to my car . When I saw the flashing lights ,that was brighter than lightening. But it wasn’t lightning because there wasn’t thunder. But an odd sound that I have never heard before.. Louder than a freight train . And then I felt myself being elevated up off the ground.
Andrew Carter says
I follow my fisherman buddy’s gaze to spy a starlike object zigzagging the dark night sky.
Then, it stops.
A black beam reaches down touching the tip of Australia’s tallest flagpole. It blots a well-lit Southern Cross on our national flag.
Beer in hand, I laugh.
“We’re fishing at Settlement Shores.”
Mae says
Simon knew the risks of cloning. He knew that playing God was a risky affair.
“Simon, do not do this”
Now it is too late. She wants to kill him. Blood is on the front of her dress; her normally sweet smile is wicked.
“Where is Ruby?”
“She’s sleeping now”
Kristina Hutchinson says
The green pickup truck sat empty in the middle of the road. The keys were still in the ignition. Later, when Bob would recount his story he’d say he only remembered seeing a white light before blacking out. He didn’t know how he’d ended up in the bar hours later.
Debby Feo says
They almost got me, in Central Park. They got families standing nearby.
I had gone under a shady tree, while drinking my Coke Zero.
After hearing screams, I turned and watched sparkling beams pulling people upwards.
The stench was horrific!
Loosened my leather belt, tied it to the tree, prayed.
Kristina Hutchinson says
It was an anniversary gift and the trip of a lifetime. Economy class. Four star accommodations and breakfast included.
Shocked when first seeing the saucer shaped object in the Air Force hangar and the pilot with green skin, Estelle shrugged.
“Que sera sera!”
It would be a holiday, nonetheless!
Bo Jung says
Alan gasped. His ship was a klick away. His suit was out of air, fuel, and power. Panicked, he kicked off into the empty silent dark.
His vision dimmed as it grew closer. 10 meters… 5… flailing, his hand struck metal. Blind, he desperately yanked at the door….
And slipped.
