Zing and Zang were suffering from severe nausea. They were dizzy and disoriented, and had no idea what to do about it.
Always careful not to reveal their true identities, they followed all traffic signals. They had never encountered a roundabout before.
Round and round they went, with no end in sight. Every sign they saw pointed in the same direction.
“Can’t we take one of these other streets?” asked Zang. “No one else is going in circles!”
“We must follow the arrows, no matter how silly it seems!”
Zang groaned. “We’re going to die.”
Just Writing! 
Dear Linda,
I’m with the boys and am not at all found of roundabouts. I hope someone sets them on the right path soon. 😉 Cute story.
Shalom,
Rochelle

They can teleport, of course 🙂 All space aliens are enormously smarter than we are, and are centuries ahead of us in intelligence and abilities. Why? Dunno. It just seems to be the way we see them 🙂

Seems like your aliens are from the USA, Linda, because everyone in Europe uses roundabouts with no problem!
PS Zing translates into French as ‘le punch’!

Not from my part of the USA, where what we call “traffic circles” are becoming more and more common. They take us a little getting used to, though, I have to admit. Zing and Zang are from Zerkon 🙂 And I didn’t know about that French translation. I love it :)I

Teehee! My sympathies are with Zing and Zang here. While I have no difficulty with traffic roundabouts, when it comes to ideas I can go round, and round and round…and round, for an awful long time before I realise I can take a different exit.
Nice story, Linda

Thanks, Penny. I needed something lighthearted today. I’m so glad that imagination can take us away from our difficulties now and then.

People truly loathe roundabouts because they have no idea how to use them!
Poor Z and Z… they’re gonna be there for a while unless someone forces them to stop…

You’d thin someone would see, wouldn’t you, and give them a little help? That 100-word limit leaves a lot to be figured out 🙂

And the moral of this story: never give aliens a driver’s permit until they’ve passed the round-about test. Are they still in their saucer?

No, nothing that obvious. Maybe they were riding bikes 🙂

Poor Zing and Zang were fooled by a roundabout made by humans. They should have used a GPS instead.

Oh, how I loved this one, Gran! Awesome! I dearly detest roundabouts. We have one near us that is in front of the library. Without any stop signs you take your life into your hands anytime you want to go to the library. I hate it with a passion! I feel for Zing and Zang.

There have been a few bump-and-dents at the little traffic circle in our town, but over all, it has helped the traffic flow much better. Scares me, though. I avoid it when I can.

Laurie, I’m wondering you live anywhere near me. There’s a Five Points intersection about 30 minutes down Highway 309. And I know of a small town where there are SEVEN roads that all start from the same intersection. I suppose it’s because these roads were all established during the horse or horse-and-buggy era.
