Here is the photo for week 4 of the Stock Photo Challenge:
Bol and Zpal were charged with finding an inhabitable new planet as Xtrania would soon cease to exist. Their research led them to Earth.
With only hextons left, they needed to depart immediately. A small craft was packed with necessary supplies and they embarked on their mission.
After landing and hiding their ship, they acclimated to their new climate and assumed human form. They only had two decons to assimilated and gather data.
“It’s time,” Bol said. They reported to council. “This planet will sustain our people.”
“Excellent. Return at once so Xtrania may prepare for inhabitation.” The transmission ended.
Give it a try. You might be surprised at what you can compose.
Leave a comment. I’d love to hear from you.
I like the words you created. Things like that add a lot to world-building.
Thanks, Staci. I wanted to try something different. This is not something that comes easily, and sci-fi is not my usual genre.
Don is clever. Didn’t know he had this going on. Will check it out.
Jacqui, you will enjoy doing these.
I agree with Staci. Love the flair of adding alien language/words!
Thanks, Mae. Sci-fi is definitely not a strong suit. But I do love a good challenge.
Hope they’ve had their vaccinations.
Or that could be their undoing. 😀
Exactly. Seems to be an issue right now.
