“I wan’a go home.”
“We just got here.”
“It’s boring.”
“We’re on a new adventure. We’ve never been here before.”
“I’m cold.”
“Button your coat.”
“Don’t wan’a.”
“Then be cold.”
“Don’t make him stay, Aster.”
“But …”
“Just send him back.”
“Fine.”
Aster pulled her sleeve up, did the necessary calculations on her wrist computer. Thornton disappeared.
“He’s still too young for inter-dimensional travel.”
“I was hoping to waken his interest in alien species.”
“We don’t need him anyway.” He snuggled in close. “Let’s enjoy the view.”
Passersby didn’t notice the trashcan disappear or the benches slide together.

I loved the dialogue and the voice of Thornton. Well done an enjoyable read.
Maree, thank you so much.

Cool story. Sounds like they’ve got their camouflage down to a fine art! I hope no-one tries to sit on them…
I thought of that, being sat on. To be honest, not sure what would happen.
Thanks for reading.
Dear Phyllis,
I get the feeling these aren’t humans. I loved the childish voice in it, so like a human kid. I guess immaturity is universal. Nicely done.
Shalom,
Rochelle

Enjoyable bit of sci-fi, nicely done (oh yes, I think Ive had those conversations with my parents – minus the time travel of course).
🙂
Ah yes, sometime parents just don’t get it. Glad you survived.
Oh, this is good, really liked it. Makes me wonder how many times I set on an alien?
