Travelling Light
The tee shirt says it all, said Lord Votemore, “just do it”. You called at my world to grab it’s riches. Now the federation of Saturn’s life forms wish to visit your fascinating planet. The gaseous sprites will love tracing the various hieroglyphics from the current Chinese to the ancient Egyptian. Even the Viking runes will fascinate them. I will of course control their more energetic behaviours, they really can be trusted you know. Unlike their offspring.
Now to the matter of access to your interplanetary technology…. On Saturn we used thermal drifting. Now…………

I’m sure there will be a thriving market for trinkets
Any trinkets will have to deal with Saturn’s massive pressures
Dear Michael,
I’d say your imagination is running wild as you recover. 😉 Nicely done.
Shalom,
Rochelle
I am pleased that you think so, thank you Rochelle
The thousands of languages, ancient and modern, should keep them occupied for a while!

They will love the challenge, thank you Dora
An intriguing take on the prompt. Well done.
I am glad to hear that, thank you Mason
I’ve learned a lot about Saturn today. It’s not what I imagined. It’s nice they’re coming to learn about our planet. Let’s avoid any intragalactic misunderstandings.
It was great to read your comment,
Very imaginative take on the prompt. Fun!
Thank you Susan
Nice take on the prompt, Michael – very imaginative. I like the way you show us the sprites.
Thank you Penny, these sprites have many abilities and will tax’s humanity’s understanding somewhat
I wondered if sprites stayed perpetual children. Now I know. Complex, yet fun, story.
Thank you Jade, I am still learning about these sprites, I think they will challenge my ability to understand their wide range of abilities
And the dragon lords return!
They certainly have, and now they have brought along their off spring, sprites
Interesting.
When they come here, they have lots to learn & carry back!
Here is my story- The Red T-Shirt
A-ha, the dragon lords are back. And they’ll have a lot to do, I hope they all behave themselves. Great fun, Michael.
I think that I am going to be challenged by Saturn’s intrusion into my muse
I hope their offspring don’t run amok!
Just do it! A delightfully different take Michael.
Thank you so much Keith, I think that I am going to be challenged by Saturn’s intrusion into my muse
As long as they like shopping they’ll be welcome.
That is so true, unfortunately they only like methane based items
Nothing like a little sci-fi to brighten up my day 🙂
So glad to hear this Linda.
The sprites have their work cut out for them, but up to the task. Creative story, Michael. I hope you are feeling better.
Thank you Brenda. I am getting stronger each day.
A ‘spritely’ piece full of imagination. Well written Michael
I appreciate this feedback, thank you Michael… I fear that I might be hooked on Saturn
i hope the visitors quarantine first to make sure they don’t introduce germs to our world.
I think that they are more worried about earths germs. Back on Saturn the heat destroys germs in double quick time
Now there are some fascinating visitors ! I wonder what they will make of earth. Clever piece, Michael
Thank you Laurie, earth may beguile them, but not for long.
Clever! I wonder what craziness these new tourists will bring?
For now all the craziness will be from us humans I expect.
