It was a Summer Night on Earth, and the world seemed to sleep. But for the Aliens, a new idea had only just dawned…
‘CLANK CLANK BANG…’ “Owvch!” came a voice. Young Warty Alien wanted to change the world. Not his world – oh no – but another planet. Planet Earth.
He just needed to fix the last screw into place, and he had hit his head. Rubbing it with a rough, crimson hand, he felt the bottom of his feeler and looked in the mirror. “Ugh! Grimbly grumble,” he moaned.
He summoned up all of his might (which, for a little Alien, was not much at all) and shoved the screw into its rightful position. Attaching the mechanism to his stubby arm, he sneaked into the hallway. “Vink like a spy, Vorty.” he told himself. “Aaav!” he fell to the floor with a ‘CRUNCH’. Looking around with his five little eyes, he carried on.
Slowly, he slipped into the Escape Pod and took a raspy breath. Then, he slid the doors shut…he was off…
As he flew, the world became larger and larger. Once he had reached the optimum distance from the Earth, he stopped. Warty attached himself to an Alien Wire and stepped into Space. He wasn’t exactly scared, he was ‘bibbidy bob’ which means alright … jolly even. Then, he switched the machine on…
As soon as you could say ‘bleeb’, cold air blasted out towards Earth and Warty grinned. “Voohoo! Super-povered Alien air con!” he shrieked. “Climate Change is OVER! Voohoo!” Warty was smiling from 4th ear to 8th ear.
The next day, around the globe, all the newspapers featured one special little creature. Can you guess who? The headlines said ‘Alien vs Climate Change.’ And on that day’s anniversary, you can still hear him shouting, “Voohoo, Vhoopee!”
Bethany, I like how you have named your alien and given it its own language in which to speak. A nice little phrase, ‘…shoved the screw into its rightful position.’ I also liked you little asides in brackets as they add some humour to your writing.
