Not what it seems (Friday Fictioneers)
PHOTO PROMPT © J.S. Brand
“Nice touch on the artefacts.”
“I thought so… Looks like a human did it.”
“You don’t figure they’ll work it out?”
“Please, over three thousand years and they haven’t yet.”
A flitter of wings lifts her up to the carving on the top of the post. “They got cameras and such these days. What if—”
“—nah, used this.” He holds up a small black box. “Fritz their comms. Hahaha! They think it’s a network dropout.”
“Genius.” Pulling in her wings she dives for the base, flaring them out and flapping rapidly to hover. “That supposed to be me?”

They’re real?
Aren’t they? I always suspected so
We still haven’t figured out crop circles, now wood carvings too!
*open mouth gasp* it all makes sense now…. they did the crop circles too!
Brilliant! ♥

Thank you Susan! It was fun to write
I always always look forward to reading your stories, Laurie! And this is a stellar one. I love the intimacy of the moment you created. It was them and their secret! Fantastic job! 💕
Awww thank you my lovely!! 😍
I am looking forward to writing one too 🙂
Yes do !!!! 😁
Simply delightful!
Thank you so much
Dear Laurie,
Imaginative and lovely story.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thank you so much Rochelle 😁
This made me happy. The wings, the dialogue, the “sneakiness.” Thank you.
Thank you Alicia! 😁
Aliens blocking human camera with some device! Aliens are here sitting on top of us. Too many network failures these days.
Oh so true!!
This was all around wonderful, Laurie!
Thank you so much Dale
Great idea here.”Fritzed their comms” is such a telling expression. Are we really going to be just as dumb in 1000 more years as we are today–in spite of our comms?
Thank you Gran. I sure hope we won’t be 😊
Lovely voices in your highly imaginative take. “Fritz the comms” is new to me. I like it!
Hahaha thank you! My pixies like to watch the TV I fear
Imaginative creatures and so sneaky too. Delightful story!
Thank you Brenda!
They are everywhere… the government knows but they are secretly cooperating.
Oooooo aha!
Crafty little imps, methinks. Nice story
Thanks Michael. They are indeed.
Excellent!
Thanks! 😊
