Invasion, Seriously

“Come on, you gotta see this!” Cal hollered at Rem.
They climbed to an overlook of the valley. Below were a hundred spaceships.
The aliens were part elephant, giraffe, tiger, and zebra.
“See?” Cal turned to see Rem rolling on the ground laughing, his shirttail out, and his shoes falling off.
“That’s their best weapon! They are totally disarming!”
He continued to look as Rem began to turn red and choke a bit on his own spit as he bellowed.
“They will walk all over us,” sighed Cal as he turned back, leaving the snorts and giggles in the background.

Namaste,

cuteness is such a clever weapon! ^^ i bet earth’s normal elephants, giraffes, tigers, and zebras would look totally monotonous and ugly to them ^^ great take

Hmm, they are devilish to weaponize cuteness. It’s like the weaponized joke from Monty Python.

What a great idea, Scott! Rather than evil bugs, spiders or other terrible aliens, they’ll kill us with cuteness. Well done!

Not much of an invasion, is it? More like a comic relief 😀
