WoodEar found Chief Rocket Scientist Watters and said, “We Faeries can gift Humanity with interstellar travel.”
Watters scoffed, “Faeries don’t exist.”
WoodEar showed his pointed ears.
“Nice surgery.”
WoodEar showed a picture of the first faerie spaceship.
“Nice photoshop work.”
WoodEar entered the kilometer-long spaceship outside. “Sorry Captain,” he said. “They refused.”

Faeries don’t exist? Yeah, and thanks to you, Watters, you great hairy pillock, neither does interstellar travel. Aaah, a satisfying read to start my Sunday brunch with 😉

Watters seriously dropped the ball on this one. All he had to do is walk into the parking lot. It’s very hard to miss the kilometer-long starship parked there. *sigh* 😉 Glad you started the day off well. Thanks kindly, Lyn! 🙂

Nope. They didn’t. However, I’d like to see the police try to stop them when they leave. 😉

Pretty sure I wouldn’t take a ride from Faeries, either. Run away screaming, sure.

Haha! It’s true that faeries can be rather capricious. You never know what you’ll get. I think a few folks might join you in your flight.

If you go to the grid, each writer’s icon should have a heart in the upper left corner of the icon. That means voting is now available. You just click on the icon and the grey heart will turn red. You get three votes, one per selection. You can find the grid here: http://www.grammarghoulpress.com/shapeshifting-13-28-kickoff/
