Succinctly Yours - a Microfiction Meme #6

Grandma at Grandma's Goulash provides a picture and a word prompt for this Microfiction Meme and the rules are use the photo as inspiration for a story of 140 characters OR 140 words.

Want more challenge? Use the word of the week in your story. This part is optional.


This week's word is INVADE here's the picture and my offering using both the picture and the word in 140 characters, including spaces and punctuation.


Zarko, we invade earth tomorrow.



Of course the earthlings won’t be suspicious,


our scientists have ensured that we‘re identical to them.

    The photo elicited an alien invasion for me as well, but I couldn't seem to put it into 140 characters. You've done a terrific job with far less.
