If Nostradamus
could see the future, couldn't he see that some people would believe
in his predictions, ergo he could have decided to prank them by
making stuff up? Anyway onto the flash fiction!
Khufu And
The Aliens
Pharaoh Khufu
yelled, “No way am I paying such a ridiculous price!”
“But your
pyramid will be finished in a year, no hassle.” The alien smiled,
standing on two legs and shaped like the human, but having an extra
eye, a larger head, hairless skin, and an extra eye.
“All that
gold and livestock...you'll make my kingdom one of poorest in the
world!” The Pharaoh, although a royal that taxed his subjects and
viewed himself a god, did think of himself somewhat responsible.
That, and if poor enough, the kingdom itself would be vulnerable to
attack.
The alien
gestured its hand outside the Khufu's chambers. “You've certainly
heard of how we changed the Atlantean island into a massive
fortress.”
Khufu then
scoffed, “I bet that contraption you've made of their island will
sink to the bottom of the sea.”
The alien then
said, “Your lack of faith in us in disturbing. Your skepticism is
unfounded. A little trust can go a long way. We'll give you a full
refund if the thing falls apart.”
Khufu replied,
“Nice try, it's supposed to stay up after I'm dead. Now leave,
we'll just build it ourselves.”
The alien
shrugged, “Fine. But remember, we could have done it better.”
