Drabble 54
The alien spaceship hovered over them. The earth folks nervously waited. They had no firearms, only sticks, clubs and whatever they could find to protect themselves. Then they heard what sounded like a voice. Was it hostile or friendly? They couldn’t understand what was being said.
Suddenly, objects spewed out from the spaceship. They loudly exploded above the earthmen, although not hitting any of them. The earthmen ran away in panic in all directions.
One alien spoke in a quiet voice. “Why are they running?” The other alien answered, “You idiot! We were not supposed to explode friendly firecrackers yet!”
