Story
No one would suspect. No one could pick me out of a line up. All I had to do was keep my project from becoming a cluster and all would be well. I would graduate and secure my place on the next Contact Team. At least that was the plan. IF only my partner weren’t quite the joker.
“Come on!†Wyse pointed to a spot below the cloaked ship. “It’s a CORN FIELD! We kinda have to do a crop circle.â€
“Isn’t that a tad cliché?†I asked Wyse had a rather banal sense of humor. “Let’s just do what we came to do and go home.â€
“So dull. It’s not like I’m suggesting we probe some cows. Dash in and out.†Wyse pointed out the control dome. “I mean, it’s right there!â€
The temptation was hard to overlook. So we didn’t . Wyse was right. It only took a blink, and we were back on the way to the Northern Land Bridge leaving a perfect circle behind.
When we reached the Great White North, we programmed the paint brush program and disembarked, holosuits in play. We infiltrated a whale-watching group as the invisible ship sent sparkling streams of light across the sky.
“The Aurora Borealis is spectacular tonight.â€
The tourists oohed and ahhed as we slapped “hands†and recorded the scene, proving humans were still gullible to alien graffiti and sky art. Hopefully, they never figure it out.
