“Woe! Dude, did you see that?” Cindy looked wild eyed into the sky, lost her footing and fell into a pile of straw.
“What?” Scott asked in a thick voice. He looked around halfheartedly through squinted bloodshot eyes. Shading the sun with one hand, he looked, not knowing what he was supposed to be looking for.
“You see it?”
“See what?”
“The flying saucer dude.”
“Oh! You’re hallucinating again.” Scott plopped down in the straw next to Cindy. “But since we’re both in the straw.”
Cindy pushed him away. Another saucer zoomed past. She screamed, and bolted into the woods.

I’m really not sure about this week’s story, but it’s what came to mind when I saw the picture. (After drawing a blank and thinking a few hours about it.) I decided to post it, doubts and all, because you never know what others will like. I’ve posted things in the past that I had doubts about, only to receive a lot of positive feedback.
Shows what I know!
So, with all that said, I hope that you like this silly little story that I managed for this week’s Friday Fictioneers.
#FridayFictioneers is a weekly blog link up hosted by Rochelle over at RochelleWisoff.com. You should check out her sight and perhaps try your hand at writing a 100 word story.
Good luck!

Well, you may have had your doubts, but I really enjoyed your story. You drew vivid characters through their dialogue. I hope you always post the stories you’re not sure about!

True. I mean, who has time to get “romantic” when you’re obviously being attacked.

Poor old Scott, not the most perceptive as he tries for a cuddle at the most inappropriate time.

The whole point is, well, fiction! That means we get to be little gods and create our own worlds and make them do whatever we please. And you did yours very well 🙂

He should have “protected” her… then he might have been more successful!
Fun stuff, Russell!

Nice bit of humour, Russell. He doesn’t seem to be focused in the right direction.

I get the impression that these two were suffering hangovers! It’s a great little story – very amusing. There’s nothing wrong in turning a trivial incident into fiction when you do it as well as this!

Dear Russell,
Nothing worse than an alien invasion to destroy the moment. Cute story.
