A Surprise Feast
Hand in hand, we travelled as lovers, although myself I felt no love for my companion. Dirt was ingrained in every pore of his substantial head, framed with lank long hair, add to this a beard that covered his copious stomach. Then there were trousers that I swear would walk away should he ever try removing them. As for myself I have no hair. People think I have alopecia, I do not put them right. However my nose works well. When we reached the river, I pushed him in. Being an alien, how was I to know piranhas liked flesh…

I’m not entirely sure I believe the “I’m an alien” defence,
Neil you are right to be sceptical.
Hmm… what an unpleasant read all the way through. I feel no kinship for the victim, but neither am I a fan of the alien. Well depicted both.
Thank you Jennifer, I must admit to feeling the same about both characters
I don’t think I like this alien. Hasn’t it ever heard of this concept called – walking away!
Sheena, I agree with you.
Death by piranha! Clever no evidence. Although piranha are in fact carrion fish. So the victim would need to be dead to be eaten.
He certainly smelt dead. But I agree
What a great defense! Well done.
Thank you, sadly the aliens left earth shortly after realising that earths water was full of nasty surprises
But he just wanted to give him a bath, no? I don’t feel sympathy for either of them. Great descriptive writing.
I also did not like the characters that arrived this week..
Horrific and surreal story. The homeless are prey to so much already, not ignorant extraterrestrials as well!
Yes..This was not a story I that I enjoyed writing.
Dear Michael,
Well described, if not foul character.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thank you Rochelle, it is by far not one of my favourite stories.
What a vile man/being/whatever!
I very much agree Dale, I have confined it to the sin bin
I wondered where this tale was going.
Uggie, om his lack of uncleanliness.
Interesting take on the photo prompt.

Thank you Isadora, I also wondered where this tale was taking me
