The aliens

It was Friday afternoon some weeks after The Conspiracy. Leonard was bored. As usual. He had taken the afternoon off as he deserved it. Well, he thought he did. Most people thought he took too much time off.

He was idling around looking out of the window and watching the cows.

Then he decided he would reply to an email from a snotty woman who seemed to have made it her mission in life to deluge him with emails and ask him Nosy Personal Questions. Leonard was worried by this as he didn't have anything interesting to say and was wondering whether to make stuff up.

He sent his email and hoped she wouldn't reply too quickly. He was more interested in the cows so he hobbled back to the window to look for them.

They had gone! They had disappeared in a matter of seconds. It was probably minutes but Leonard didn't realise how slow he was at typing.

Leonard rubbed his eyes and looked around for a spaceship as it was clear that the cows had been abducted by aliens.

There was no other way they could have got out of the field.

"Tata," said Leonard. "Did you see a spaceship or any aliens abduct those cows while I was on the computer?"

"Ruff ruff," said Tata, wondering if Leonard had been smoking his strawberry and apple tobacco again through the hubble bubble pipe.
