…so the entire invasion fleet descended on the unsuspecting Earth, those mighty, golden battle stations promising high energy death! Unfortunately, due to a size miscalculation, as well as a misunderstanding of the exact “hardness” of Earth, the entire fleet was destroyed when a cat nudged each battle station off of the picnic table where they landed. One, however, was saved by a crow who liked the shiny object and…

I’m still smiling at this.
I love the imagination in the story and the wee ‘boys…’ ‘girls…’ part at the end.

A wonderful story.

Let’s hope the crow isn’t hatching out a flock of aliens. Enjoyed the story.

Hmm, if the crow hatches a flock of them, given what we call a flock of crows, would that give us a murder of aliens? Thanks.
