ALIENS

 ALIENS

They appeared out of a shimmering heat-wave and overran the town by sheer weight of numbers. The town was powerless to stop them billeting themselves in every house.

 

The heat-loving creatures took many specimens from the countryside, but when they stole human DNA for an inter-breeding programme, there was talk of killing them despite the risk. Wiser souls said “Wait – Mother Nature will sort them out.”

 

It snowed unseasonably early that year, and none of them made it back to their ship - the icy blasts froze the oil in their mechanical innards.

The minute I saw Ted Strutz's photo I thought 'dead robot', and with a tweak here and there I was able to resurrect an old FF story. No time to do more as we are about to Go To The Pub!! Yes, I know, DANGER writ large and all that, but we're double-jabbed and desperate to meet up with the old gang, so sod it, we're going! I may be some time :)

And while I'm here, my latest book is now out on Amazon. CAROUSEL is a sequel to HELTER-SKELTER which I published a couple of years ago. Please buy a copy and leave  a glowing review!
