My sister and I stood outside and stared at the ship in the sky.
“What do you think they want?” Most people were worried. Not her. She bounced up and down like aliens were the best thing ever. “Will they be friendly?” She grabbed my arm and dragged me inside. “Let’s go check the news!”
The newscaster was also excited. “At last, our attempts to contact the ship have succeeded. Our top translators are working on establishing communications, but for now, we at least have a name for our visitors.”
I stared at the alien word on the screen.
Humans.
Author’s Note: One of my abandoned projects features an alien invasion from a non-human perspective where the invaders turn out to be human.
Very creative twist.
