The Greys

Earl Grey had always believed when the time came that he saw a UFO and aliens descended the stairs from their ship, that they would be green in color.

So needless to say, when the fateful night finally arrived, when the space ship landed in his backyard, covered in a grey goo, the beings that emerged were not the green of his imaginings, but grey in color, large of eyes and head.

Earl Grey had also always assumed that their greeting to him would be, “Take me to you’re leader.”

Instead the pair of grey creatures waddled up to him and spoke a language he had until that moment never heard uttered,” gerblatten stuufen ger plotzer gurgen.”

It sounded German.

“Hosenfrau ger gloten spoof,” one of the greys said. They motioned for Earl Grey to enter their craft and he did so willingly.

The interior was gray (grey) in color as were the control panels at which sat several more grey shaped life forms.

It was unlike anything Earl Grey had dreamed it would be. To be visited by aliens was his life’s obssesion.
