Here’s my last minute contribution to Monday’s Finish the Story. Thanks Barbara for the prompt!
Finish the story begins with: “On March 9th, 2015, three objects were reportedly seen in the skies over the Borracho Todos los Tiempos Vineyards.”
March 9 2125 – PJ stared down at his grandmother’s prized possession, carefully cradled in his hand inside its tattered plastic sheath. The faded old photograph showed the arrival of the creatures, over a hundred years ago. He had seen it before, when she brought it out on special occasions to show the family, and as always, it wasn’t the ships which drew his fascination. It was the earth, with its the blue sky, green trees, the red earth – it was so alive back then. He imagined what the breeze would sound like rustling through those trees, what it would be like to taste the fruit which grew on those vines.
The image was his now that his grandmother was dead – to share with his grandchildren one day, to show them how beautiful their home once was.

Sadly, that may be the truth in the year 2125, that is, if we are still here. Good story!

Nice story – not a crowd of friendly alien visitors then (or they gave us technology we misused – sounds like us!). Very well written!

I really like this. 🙂 It’s great to see a more negative take on the visiting aliens – though I have to wonder exactly what happened to cause the devastation.

Thankyou 🙂 someone else thought maybe the devastation was as a result of us misusing alien technology, which I liked as an idea..
