Today's #flashfiction #TheAlienLanding

“Pick on somebody your own size!”
Godzilla* #quote

       Today I watched a video on string theory. I personally have my skepticism regarding it. I enjoy things talking about the intriguing concepts of extra dimensions but it really has a lot of assumptions in it. Well, no matter my feelings on the validity of their logic it will make excellent fuel for my science fiction stories as quantum physics are explored.

The Alien Landing

        The alien ship landed in a field out in the middle of nowhere. The government kept the landing need to know and approached the ship with caution. A diplomat from a secret branch of the government approached the ship carefully. They didn't send the President or anyone with a name that would be missed if things went awry. Far away many, many people watched from cameras and tanks, ready to attack but also crates full of gifts and bribes were on site. The military already locked several missiles onto the site.
         The ship opened it's door and a staircase fell to the ground with a thud. A gray humanoid alien with two heads and a nice suit approached the diplomat. He spoke through a universal translator device installed into his neck and brain for pre-programmed static-y, yet pleasant voice.
         “I'd love to offer you a great deal on some brand new vacuums,” the alien motioned his hand to the interior of his ship where a large stock of vacuums laid ready for sale.
