Alien Collectors
October 17th, 2023 by G.
A passed-out drunk woke up in a field at night. There was a UFO landed near him and a few aliens gaggling around. One of them was looking at him.
”Hey! Hey!” the drunk yelled. “What’s it all for? Why are you here?”
“Yes,” the alien said. “We are collectors. ”
The drunk’s expression cleared. “Oh, hey, collectors. Art! I know art. The Mona Lisa! You should collect the Mona Lisa. Hey!”
The alien looked blank. “What is this Mona Lisa? We collect art creations of great worth.” He proudly showed the drunk a child’s refrigerator drawing.
“Jesus loves this boy, and the boy loves this art. Isn’t it wonderful to have something that will last forever?”

I’m waiting another few weeks to recycle the little paper people my niece scrawled with marker and cut out to give us the last time she was there, and the stapled ‘book’ her older sister made (it did actually have a story in it, with characters and setting, though no plot). We have so much fridge art right now.
