Zing and Zang stood transfixed at the beauty of the enormous flower in the midst of the fountain.
“Zing, the’s the BIGGEST flower I’ve ever seen!” Zang’s voice was filled with awe.
“Yes. Yes, I think it is for me, too. I wonder how they made it grow to be so HUGE!”
A woman standing nearby glanced at the two strangers. “Surely you know it’s not a real flower,” she said.
Zing and Zang sagged in disappointment. They flashed to invisibility, shocking the woman who had burst their bubble.
“Well, my goodness!” she said. “Some people!”

Bit rude – they’re getting more like humans all the time! 😉

Enjoyed your little tale; love that woman’s reaction! Must be one of these “unflappable” English types. Of course, you didn’t have enough words left to have her screech and dash off madly to find a security guard.

Nice one.

Some people, indeed. A bit of shocking behavior from those two. Very childish for a couple of aliens….

Well, but they were SO disappointed! And maybe they were afraid of something more being revealed?

I suspect they’d be terrified. They’re a little timid 🙂

I love your last word, “people”. Zing and Zang’s disguise must be really good. I wonder if the woman told anybody of her adventure? I mean, people would think you were crazy, right?

Poor little alien tourists. Maybe they can take some real lotus flowers back and supersize them somehow. Nice story.
