FF – Make Klaziquarg Great Again!

Here is my story for Friday Fictioneers, hosted by Rochelle. This week’s photo was contributed by Bill Reynolds.

“You forgot where you parked the space module? It’s camouflaged as a truck and it could be on any planet, in any galaxy, in any time period? It could be anywhere, anywhen?”

“Yep. No wait, there it is.”

“What are the odds? Hang on, some bits have fallen off.”

“That’s just the disguise. No wait, it’s the warp drive.”

“Can you fix it?”

“Nope. How will we get back home to Klaziquarg?”

“I have a plan. I’ll put on an orange wig, get myself elected to high office and divert the nation’s finances to fixing our ship.”

“Make Klaziquarg great again!”

“Huzzah!”

      And since it’s sci-fi I can’t be sued, it could be anyone in an orange wig leading a country.

    No chance, you’ve pick a rotten plan. It’s the blond wig and fake tan that gives the plan a disastrous feeling.

    That truck is such a good decoy. I could just see it hurtling through space like something out of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. I’ve been feeling rather blessed not to be hearing about Trump anymore and you shattered my serenity. We have our own problems in Australia, although who and what that is depends on your perspective.
    Best wishes,
    Rowena

      The truck would look pretty cool hurtling through space, though 🙂

    I was very captivated by your opening, and how the truck wasn’t actually a truck but a disguise. Clever!
