Keeping their distance, Zing and Zang circled the box. “What do you think it is?” questioned Zang.
“How should I know?” Zing was irritated,
“What should we do?”
“Why do I always have to have the answers? I don’t know! What do you think?”
“Uh–I don’t think we should touch it.”
“Duh, Bright Boy! I’m sending images to Zirkon’s headquarters. They’ll direct us.”
Suddenly, the message came to them both: “Under NO circumstances are you to touch that box. Return home RIGHT NOW!”
Just Writing! 
Is that the last, the very last, of our little alien visitors?

What does headquarters know about that box that they’re not telling?! I hope they are allowed to return in the future.

Dear Linda,
I have to wonder why they’ve been ordered not to open the box. Cute. They remind me of the two aliens on Sesame Street. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTc3PsW5ghQ
Shalom,
Rochelle

Hmmm… guess they were never supposed to even find “The Box”… Best they listen to headquarters.

That sounds ominous. Maybe a spot of decontamination is in order.

I don’t think they’ll disobey orders. They’re conditioned to do exactly as they’re told. But that idea sure could develop into some interesting plot twists 🙂

Ooh, yeah. They could start with a philosophical debate on whether or not to disobey the order. That would give you a whole story before they even open the box.

What’s in the box? It seems like Zing and Zang are being told off for being out without permission, or perhaps the box contains something deadly to their species. I wonder! A fun read as always.

A nice bit of mystery, Linda. Zing and Zang were smart to ask headquarters before opening the box. Or, else …
