PINK PIXIE DUST

On their way back to Neverland. Tinkerbell and Peter fly down to grab a bite to eat at Mickey D's.

"Welcome to McDonald's may I take your order?"  Asks the elder gentleman working the register.

"Yes, A Big Mac, please."

"Would you like the meal instead?"

"Yes, that's fine."

"What would you like to drink?"

"Coke please."

"Medium or Large?"

"Medium."

"Will this be for here or to go?"

"To go."

"Will that complete your order?"

"Yes, thank you."

"That will be $6.50. Cash or credit?"

"Um, one moment sir."

Peter now whispering, "Yeah Tink, he wants us to pay him. You know with a gold coin or something. What? You want to use the pink pixie dust on him. Okay, but what does it do again?"

PROXIMA b

For one year our radio telescopes picked up broadcasts transmitted from another world. A world 4.3 light years away. Our linguists deciphered their language. And our scientists found a way of getting us there. My partner and I trained extensively, for the twenty-year mission. We were ready to go. After arriving and orbiting the planet, debris struck and damaged our ship. Descending, we crash-land in a desert. In and out of consciousness, I heard a cacophony of  machinery  and voices. And one loud voice, saying, “Clean this up, leave nothing and take these two, to Area 51!”

WHAT LURKS

It entered the garage as the door was closing. The Hansen's unaware drove off into town.  It moved around the house and examined each room. And it lay on each bed, but the bassinet.  It discovered many toys about the house to play with. There were knives in the kitchen and guns over the mantelpiece in the den. There were loose carpets on the stairs and toy trucks on the steps. In the bathrooms, it found hair dryers with frayed cords. And prescription drugs behind mirrors. Delighted. It bared serrated pointy teeth as it grinned from ear to ear. Making its way downstairs to the den. And climbing into the fireplace, then up the chimney. There it would lurk until nightfall, when all are asleep.  A demented cackle escaped its drooling mouth.
