Friday Fictioneers is a group of bloggers who write 100-word stories after being inspired by a photo prompt posted by Rochelle Wisoff-Fields. It is not a closed group; you can join in! We are allowed to use the photo (taken by another writer) in our post and are encouraged to leave each other comments. I write my story before I read any of the other writers’ creations. This week’s story is 100-words long.
Several people use the hashtag #FridayFictioneers when they tweet a link to one of their Friday Fictioneer stories on Twitter. You should too!

Avoiding Intergalactic Incidences.
“What were you thinking? What were you doing?” asked the bewildered police officer.
Serge was unsure of how to answer. How do you tell a cop that you saw a flying saucer and not get arrested for drunkenness or sent off to the loony bin?
“I’m sorry, officer.”
“You’re sorry? You’d better be sorry! What if you’d hit another car?”
Serge rubbed his face with his hand. What if he had hit that flying thing? That might have caused an intergalactic incident.
“I’m sorry sir, I’ll try to pay more attention from now on.” Next time he’d get a picture.
Failing at Haiku 
A wise man, that Serge. Tell just enough truth to stay out of the loony bin.

Good one, funny and yet realistic — sort of. Maybe it was a very large Canada goose?

That alien probably felt the driver was too slow. Could probably tell to the tenth decimal place how slow. Cute story, Symanntha.
