Politics of Fear
Calling all passengers for flight A19
Excuse me sir is this the plane to the USA? Certainly.

From? England.
Reason for travel? To escape the toxic politics.
Visa? It’s stamped. By whom? Me.
It says here that your an alien. Certainly, who do you think caused the toxic politics.
May I ask why you chose to travel with USA airlines?
My space ship is broken.
Any luggage Friday? None. Is that so? Yes it’s all in my head. How come? Don’t you know me, I am a Fictioneer.
Welcome aboard. Friday.

Oh yes! roll on Friday, and let’s get on with whatever we have to. Well done!
Thank you
Ha.. yes a fellow traveler… I know him.
Thank you fellow traveller.
Hahahahahahahahaha!!! Got it. Really got it! Of all the stuff I have had read over the years on these blogs, Michael, this is certainly one of he best! Who knew what a Friday Fictioneer was anyway?
Five out of five Rochelles. 😉
Thank you so much, Friday Fictioneers for ever.
Beauty. We’re all bloody aliens now.
I hope not,
I loved it.
🙂

Thank you fellow Fictioneer
🙂

You’re welcome.
I couldnt help laughing – thank you 😀
I am so pleased,
Very creative!
Friday Fictioneers as a whole is a great place to see and read creative work. So I appreciate your comment all the more for that. Thank you. Mike
Too silly, well done.
It was rather mixed up. I really had aimed to say something serious about the state of politics here and perhaps in America. But could not latch onto anything that I was happy with. So chickened out.
So well done will really do for me. Thank you. Mike
Horribly funny! Fascinating till the last, when you deliver your punch line! Laugh is on us the FF!
It was me wanting to escape the politics of the referendum debate here in England,
Nothing like travelling light – keep it all in your head!
I’m glad voting day is finally here. I’ve almost forgotten what we’re voting for – I was thinking of voting for the side which was the least annoying and scaremongering but it ended up a dead heat.
Travelling light has always been my way, but a hundred words has always been a little to light for me.
So… does that make this a head trip? 😀
I am afraid it does.
Interesting pun with the name: including Friday Fictioneers AND alluding to Robinson Curusoe. My advice to Friday would be that USA is NOT the place to come if you want to escape toxic politics.
Hopefully adventures in writing fiction, will offset the toxic nature of present day politics.
Dear Michael,
I have only one word for this ridiculous piece. Delightful!
Shalom,
Rochelle
PS Perhaps the Fictioneers need to form a colony. 😉
Thank you Rochelle. I have a tendency to always post my first response to a prompt. In an attempt to avoid making large scale alterations. I was pleased with the main theme of this piece, but yet I am not content with the the totality of it.
I knew we had much in common, us Fictioneers. I had no idea HOW much! lol
Well executed and very humorous
Thank you so much. Mike
Hahaha, cute!
Thank you, Mike
Hilarious, Michael. We are frequent travelers as Friday Fictioneers aren’t we. This is the only kind of traveling I enjoy these days. I agree that the U.S. is the wrong place to escape politics. I can hardly wait to see what happens at the Republican Convention this year. It’s usually the quiet one but not this year. Well written. from one alien to another. 😀 — Suzanne
Hahah, brilliant! It’s a pleasure to meet all you fellow Aliens every week, let’s fly high.
