Prompt by Rochelle Wisoff-Fields
Gorgeous light feature. Well done, city council.
It is good to see our taxes spent on beautifying the streets.
A quiet night though.
Pity there aren’t more people out to enjoy the installation.
Where is everyone tonight? Late night shopping. A lovely warm evening.
Usually the streets are packed.
My friends should be here though. Said to meet outside the Igis.
Squelch. What was that? I’ve stood on something? Can’t see …
No, hang on! There was a family up ahead. Where …?
Not lights. Some sort of alien creature. Suckers?
NO! NO! Oh no!! This is bad! (98 words)

I’m not scared of the aliens. If they can get here, they’ve already faced their challenge of war and destructive economy and survived it. The really scary ones are us

Interesting and fear enhancing at the same time. Sometimes I wouldn’t mind being sucked out of this life – just for an afternoon ind you. I need to be back for tea.
