Written for Kat Myrman’s Twittering Tales Challenge – something about the aerial viewpoint and the bleak emptiness of this scene got me thinking about something along dystopian post-apocalyptic lines! Look forward to see what everyone else comes up with, and thanks again Kat for hosting this weekly challenge!
I’ve been absent from these for a few weeks. Must get back!

I had considered an alien view of things before I settled on my forgetful overworked guy in an empty parking lot. 😉 I’m glad you picked up that slant Kirst. If we are being watched by other life forms, I do wonder what they must think of us!

If the aliens are smart they’ll wait for us to annihilate ourselves before they set foot here…or find another planet. haha
