Play with me? (Friday Fictioneers)

“Did ya see it?”
“See what?”
“The thing in the sky, the bright thing.”
Petey rolled his eyes so hard his head ached. His sister. Such a weirdo. “There was no―”
“There was! I see’d it.”
Petey peered up, but his eyesight wasn’t so good. His glasses were inside where they always were. “Nah, noth―Whoa!”
The orange grey sky became flashlight bright. “That’s, that’s…” Petey scampered for the front door. “Ma!”
“Told ya I see’d it.” Ava grinned. Maybe it was aliens. Maybe they’d have kids to play with. Sticking her finger in her mouth she toddled toward the flash.

They have landed at last! A fun read, if only we could have more than 100 words.
“”Sticking her finger in her mouth she toddled toward the flash.”” Never to be seen again.
Oooooooo who knows? Maybe she’ll make some great friends? 😉
Dear Laurie,
Petey picked a bad time to leave Ava alone. I love her innocence. Maybe they’ll have kids to play with. Nicely done.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thank you Rochelle. It’s been a crazy week for me so I needed something fun and sweet
Great idea. Let’s leave first contact to the kids
Yes indeed, it will probably go better 😊
I think the best representative of humankind would be a three-year-old kid. Nice one, Laurie.
Thank you John, I sure think so. 😊 little Ava could be a hero
🙂
Best served with an orange glaze.
Ha! Thanks
Sounds like the first sign of life they’ve seen for a while…
Could be… Petey should listen better 😊
Nicely done! 🙂
Thank you 😊
There was a dystopian feel to this, as though the kids hadn’t seen other people for a long time. Good story, Laurie.
Good pick up Penny. They are doing pretty well for themselves… so far
That last line–cute, adorable–but I fear it’s also tragic.
Thank you
And yes I fear so
Could be ET.
Oooo yes it could be. 😊
May be that is also the solution for global peace. Imaginative write.
Hmmmm interesting 😊
I loved this, Laurie. Of course Petey will be in major trouble should something happen to Ava…
Oh yes you are soooo right!
Great idea. Nicely written.
Thank you 😊
If the aliens have sent their little ones they will all get on with each other straight away.
I think so! Kids are so great.
🙂 I wonder what they will find as they toddle off to look.
Somethong unexpected thats for sure
