Last door closed (Friday Fictioneers)
PHOTO PROMPT © Roger Bultot
We’re safe here. The floor was standing room only, packed with people. Whimpering, terrified people barely dared to breathe. Afraid to make any sound. Even the children were silent and as pale as ghosts.
When the ships landed, we were excited. Finally. We had proof life on other planets existed.
Turns out… No so much.
But other dimensions exist. And these humans had figured out a way to travel between them. They needed a new home and they were taking ours.
The holy places were the one border they would not cross. For now, we’re safe.
But for how long?

Rambles, writing and amusing musings 
Love the idea that the aliens are ourselves. Clever
Thank you, Neil. Yeah I can’t help but think that is true.
Intriguing set up. Good to know humans in other dimensions are as equally destructive as we are!
Thanks Iain. I’m certain we are. A scary thought.
That’s one way to stem the decline in churchgoing! Nice one Laurie.
My story – ‘This way that way!’
Thanks Keith
Dear Laurie,
Humans from other dimensions. That’s a new one. We have seen the enemy and he is us.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thank you, Rochelle. Its a scary thought isn’t it?
That’s exactly what many of us would do if we could travel dimensions. Intriguing story.
I think so. Unfortunately. Thanks for reading!
Taking the prompt to a whole new dimension. Thought-provoking story.
Thank you!
Great take on the prompt:) Religion as a safe place, even from extraterrestral enemies!
Thank you for reading !
Well, hell.
Well done!
Thanks Dale !
I love that they respect holy places.
Who knows!
For now
Exactly!😊
We finally have to face ourselves. What an interesting concept. It doesn’t bode well.
Oh yes and I fear they have more to lose
Holy places are often the line that will not be crossed.
But for how long?
Randy
Yes I fear it won’t be as long as they hoped
I think our worst enemies would be exactly the same as ourselves.
Yeah me too. Scary thought
Only a very few earth people will be able to move to a different dimension after destroying the planet and leaving the less fortunate to their fate.
Yes this is true
