Ned Right never said much, a quiet genius who had discovered how to use dark matter to fold space for faster than light travel.
Staring out the window of his top floor office at Applied Warp, the somber genius contemplated the possibilities of extraterrestrials, “Is anyone out There?”
A statue, Ned watched a silvery, otherworldly, flying saucer settle silently; landing next to his old pickup truck. Three tiny gray aliens with briefcases emerged.
Ned’s intercom buzzed, his secretary announcing, “Some funny little fellows claiming to be attorneys with Klatu, Barada, and Nikto are here to talk to you about patent infringement…”
First I laughed then laughed again. Great story.
Thanks, Marchell!
An enjoyable read with a clever twist. Great job!
Glad you enjoyed it, Schuyler. Thanks for the feedback.
Love sci-fi humor.
Me too, Tisa! I find I can only take so much weighty post apocalyptic drama. Something to make me smile goes a long way. Hope you found a smile in my micro missive.
A favorite lines from a favorite movie, this was very funny.
One of my favorites, too. I thought even the remake with Keanu Reeves was great.
Funny without becoming corny.Enjoyable on every level.
