It's another SHAKE UP week. We have to try to write our centus in the SciFi genre. Yuck, yuck, yuck. Enough said.
Prompt is in bold.
"Let's get the kids and visit Earth".
"It's very scary there even for adults".
“I think the children are old enough to learn what happens when people don’t work together for the greater good. What better lesson could we give them, Xzar”?
“I know you’re right, Orsa. My grandparents came here because people got so mean; stopped caring about others and only looked out for themselves protecting everything they had with guns. It makes you wonder what they were thinking. Let’s go”.
“I’m ready. Beam me up, Scottie. Don’t forget the protective bubble just in case”.

Good Centus. And feels a little too close for comfort!
=)
aren't you clever. Wowzers...you hit life on earth pretty much to the t - wonder if I can hitch a ride with them after they visit
Scary for sure when evil becomes good and good evil. Good one!
I am sorry to say that protective bubble would most definitely be required. Great piece, Vicki.
I've actually been thinking about a bubble lately. Excellent take on the prompt!
Very nice use the Jenny's prompt!!!
And it could totally happen. Great job.
This was a really good use of the prompt. Sci fi as cautionary tale - well done! Kat
way to use the prompt as a commentary on the world!
Well done, and so true too! You have to wonder how things ever got so crazy and out of hand. No wonder the aliens stay away...it might be catching! LOL!
Very clever and a lot of fun, Viki! And now I know what to name my next two children!!!
Dynamic use of the prompt. We are all that and worse.
Love it! Can we buy one of those protective bubbles please?!
Love it! And I read Sci-fi for breakfast! :D But you actually captured the sci-fi predictions---great job there!
Viki, this is very entertaining and profound. I especially like the names "Xzar" and "Orsa." Nicely done.

Sci-fi in the best of tradition, shedding light on a dark planet earth...well done...peace and blessings
Could well happen; a lesson for all of us here. :)
Yep you covered all of humanity.~Ames
Dear Viki,
Thank you for your kind words on my SC-text.
My goodness, you really got into the spirit of the Sci-Fi-genre. Good use of the prompt.
Best wishes,
Anna

Good one, creative...keep the bubble float handy, we may still need it.
A perfect use of prompt and unfortunately so timely...
Aren't you a clever one. For someone that called this a yucky genre you definitely nailed it.
Great, great story. I think I'm ready to pack up the Grands (and one or two of my kids) and go!
Thanks Miss Viki!
