Hello, hope you are having a grand week. I am busy as the Durga Puja celebrations are on. Yet I am pleased that I could manage to post an entry to this week’s Friday Fictioneers challenge hosted by Rochelle. I will be along to read your stories in a bit. Click here to read the other stories inspired by the photo prompt provided by Liz Young. Thanks Liz.

FF: The Visitors
Words 100
“This is terrible!”
“The innocent are suffering the consequences of hate and greed.”
“We must stop this endless cycle of senseless killing!”
“What can we do?”
“Let’s go away!”
“But where?”
“I know the perfect place.” Their leader said.
“Are we at the right place?”
“I think so,” whispered one. “What do you think?”
“Let’s go and find out.” Their leader ventured a bit further, only to stop short.
“Abort mission! Withdraw!” The leader ordered.
“What’s happening?” Powering their spaceship they surveyed the scene of carnage and mass destruction.
“Déjà vu. The Blue Planet is no longer perfect for life.”

Happy Durga Puja to all of you and may the Mother shower peace, prosperity and oneness on us.
At least that was one invasion forestalled

Good Morning Dahlia. There is no safe place anywhere. Seems Rudra has taken over from Durga.

It sounds like war and greed abound across the universe. Well, two planets at any rate. Hopefully there is a peaceful one with evolved life forms out there somewhere. Good story, Dahlia. Wishing you peace, prosperity and unity as well.
